From marionoc at MIT.EDU Tue Sep 6 16:00:48 2005 From: marionoc at MIT.EDU (Marion Cunningham) Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 16:00:48 -0400 Subject: [Crealums] MIT/CRE E-NEWSLETTER -- September 2005 Message-ID: <200509062000.j86K0nuv016785@outgoing.mit.edu> MITCenter for Real Estate Interdisciplinary o Innovative o Industry Relevant o International Greetings! The new academic year has begun. The Class of 2006 arrived in late August for two weeks of orientation and their arrival kicks into gear a number of strategic changes at the Center. The Real Estate Development course is being offered over two semesters. This change, the inclusion of construction as an area of faculty expertise, and a re-commitment to the physical asset, the real estate, has led to the creation of a curriculum that is more exciting than ever. The new academic year also has the Center poised to join forces with our industry, alumni/ae, and Institute partners. To introduce them to Boston and to area alums, the Alumni/ae Association organized an incredibly successful Scavenger Hunt for the Class of 2006; Kirstin Brown, CRE '98 of Spaulding & Slye Colliers, arranged an introduction to the real estate industry that centered on the real estate professionals involved in the development of NorthPoint, a 15-year project on 45 acres of land in Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston; and MIT provided support for the Summer Leadership Institute that looked at leadership across industry sectors, an event put together by graduate students from the Departments of Architecture and Planning and the Center for Real Estate. All of this happened in the last week of August. Needless to say, the semester has been launched with gusto! Included in this issue of the e-newsletter are the following: * Alumni/ae Reunion Weekend: 9/29/2005 to 10/1/2005 http://web.mit.edu/cre/alumni/index.html, See Also Column * Meet the Class of 2006 * Save the Dates!
