IN THEIR WORDS

Presenting to ARA’s investment committee was an incredible experience. While being put on the spot was a little nerve-wracking, the committee’s real-world questions pushed me to think critically about our analysis and belief in the property.

Carly Ragan, Vanderbilt University

I learned so much, not just about the real estate industry, but about leadership and making an impact. The program opened my eyes to new possibilities, and I’m really thankful I got to be a part of it.

Alex Munguia, University of Southern California

ARA’s Future Real Estate Leaders program was a great eye-opening experience that broadened my knowledge of not only the real estate industry but also investment management.
