By Graaskamp Staff

August 17, 2020

Thank you to the many alumni and friends who have generously shared their wisdom and experience with our students in many ways: as guest lecturers in the classroom; as mentors and advisors to our students; by giving career advice on panels and individually to our students; and by supporting case competitions and field trips.

You lead by example through your extraordinary careers. We love hearing about your achievements so we can share your stories with our students, inspiring them to craft meaningful careers with their Wisconsin Real Estate degrees. You are loyal and hire our graduates, giving this generation of Wisconsin Real Estate students the chance we all needed at the beginning of our careers. Your actions reflect a great vote of confidence in our program and we thank you!
