Having recently been named the nation’s #1 undergraduate Real Estate program by U.S. News & World Report for the second year in a row, the appeal of Wisconsin talent continues to draw top real estate firms from across the nation. On September 20, the Wisconsin Real Estate Club hosted its largest career fair ever, with 66 employers represented and over 450 students in attendance. Varsity Hall in Union South was full of students and employers having conversations, trading business cards and resumes, and making connections.
The fair was organized by the Real Estate Club in collaboration with the Graaskamp Center for Real Estate and the Wisconsin Real Estate Alumni Association (WREAA). This fall’s fair was timed to coincide with WREAA’s Biennial Conference on September 21 & 22, to allow alumni to connect with students while they were in Madison for the conference. Over half of the employer representatives present were alumni of UW’s Real Estate programs, either at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Real Estate Club Co-Presidents Ian Wright and Chris Janeck were pleased with the turnout. “The Career Fair not only empowers Badgers with future opportunities in the real estate industry but also ensures that our partners and alumni maintain a strong presence on campus,” said Wright. “We really appreciated the alumni and employers who made the trek to Madison and are looking forward to replicating that success in the future.”
If you were not able to attend the fair, the Spring Real Estate Club Career Fair will be held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. The student organizers want to thank the Graaskamp Center and WREAA for their support and assistance, as well as the employers and students who attended.
