Real Estate Circle
Columbia Business School's Real Estate Circle is a growing community of our alumni. Alumni join the group to enhance their professional and personal networks, participate in executive education and contribute to student fellowships, ensuring that Columbia Business School continues to attract the brightest scholars, who go on to enrich our alumni network.

Members of the Circle are at various levels in their careers and are making their mark in all segments of the real estate industry.
Two levels of membership are available for the Real Estate Circle – Circle Leader and Circle Associate. Please click on the following link to learn more about the specific benefits affiliated with each contribution level.
Throughout the year, Circle programming offers members the opportunity to attend networking and social events, including Circle Academy executive education sessions. These breakfasts bring alumni together with a leading academic or industry expert, who presents thought- and discussion-provoking content. Topics need not be real estate-focused, but are relevant to current practice.
The first Circle Academy of 2007 featured Columbia Business School's highly respected Bruce Greenwald, Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management and Director of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham and Dodd Investing. In April, the Circle Academy featured Chris Mayer, Paul Milstein Professor of Real Estate and Director of The Paul Milstein Center for Real Estate. The final Academy breakfast of the academic year took place in June, and featured Matthew Rhodes-Kropf, Daniel W. Stanton Associate Professor of Finance.
