Definitely real estate is not any trifling activity, it is more a perfect discipline than you can ever think even and for that reason there is the need of an educational or research based institution to impart latest innovations on keen student. As luck would have it College of Business Administration at San Diego State University (SDSU) is engrossed in the same activity and it has announced launch of The Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate.
Well, the Center was set up with a donation from the McMillin family who does possess one of San Diego`s most successful real estate and development companies. The foremost intention behind the creation of the center was to ameliorate the educational experience for real estate students at SDSU, foster academic research in the area of real estate, and also to act in the role of a liaison with real estate professionals, government and industry organizations.
“As a real estate professional, I look forward to the contributions The Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate stands to make in terms of real estate research and the education of future industry professionals,” said Mark McMillin (`79, marketing), president and CEO of The Corky McMillin Companies. “On behalf of the McMillin family, we proudly support the continued development of SDSU`s real estate program and the student-run Real Estate Society of San Diego State
University.”
“As the first director of The Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to further real estate research and expand the real estate educational program at SDSU,” said Lea. “I look forward to the challenges offered by position and I plan to hit the ground running.”
“With his real-world expertise and his academic experience, Dr. Lea is an ideal choice to head the Center,” said Mike Neal, chair of SDSU`s real estate advisory board and the president and CEO of the H.G. Fenton Company. “We welcome his arrival at SDSU and eagerly anticipate the leadership Dr. Lea will bring to his new position and to the real estate program.”
It is worthwhile to mention that College of Business Administration is one of the largest business schools in the U.S. and its programs have been ranked among the top programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
