• Continually evaluate the structure and operation of the Center to enhance prominence and productivity in the areas of community and alumni engagement, job placement, events and student experience.
• Develop an organized co-curricular learning strategy that enhances overall student comprehension of the industry in a manner complimentary to the course curriculum.  This area is likely to focus on technical areas such as Excel and Argus Enterprise.
• Mentor and assist students with career oriented matters - resume development and review, mock interviews, and advising on employment in the commercial real estate profession.
• Continually evaluate the Center's approach to job placement to ensure the greatest exposure of Center students to employment opportunities.  Related, assist in the development of a DC-focused internship program that would allow Center students to work with local real estate companies during the academic year (i.e. Fall & Spring semesters).
