It has been a decade or more since you were students at the Center and a lot has changed. Over the last three years, the CRE has leveraged its home at one of the premier institutes of technology by pursuing cutting edge research that produces practical, yet innovative, tools that are relevant to housing policy, real estate investment, and commercial development. We are proud to have graduation as an opportunity to showcase our alums (you!), our students, and our faculty. While here, we invite you to partake in the graduation activities. All activities are free of charge. _____ Matthew Kelly to Speak at MIT/CRE's 2006 Commencement (9/30/06) Matthew Kelly, Vice President of Real Estate Strategy and Development for Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI), will be the keynote speaker at the MIT Center for Real Estate's 2006 Commencement exercises on September 30. Walt Disney Imagineering develops attractions, resorts, and real estate for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts; and the company was a recipient of the Center's "Visioneer" award during our 20th anniversary celebration in 2004. Mr. Kelly has been responsible for the WDI's Florida-based non-theme park/resort real estate developments. His projects include Celebration, an award-winning large-scale master-planned community and Little Lake Bryan, a mixed use development. He currently serves as President of The Celebration Company. _____ ALUMNI/AE ASSOCIATION OF THE CENTER FOR REAL ESTATE (AACRE) News and Updates _____ AACRE Externship Program If you have a project that you think a student would find of interest or if your firm would be willing to give a current student the opportunity to tour various divisions within the organization during IAP, January 8 - February 2, 2007, contact Marion Cunningham at marionoc at mit.edu. Applications will be available August 22nd. AACRE Student Host Program Needs You!
