Description

The Wharton Undergraduate Real Estate Club is dedicated to everything real estate. We educate the Penn community about the real estate industry and expose the undergraduate student body to the various opportunities in the field. WUREC seeks to provide an intellectual environment that not only allows students to learn, but also to network, recruit, travel, and build meaningful foundations for success and a long career in real estate. WUREC provides increased access to the Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center's Ballard Executive Visitor Luncheon Series, the Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center's Career Mentor Program, MBA/Undergraduate Real Estate Club Mixers, Masters of Real Estate Lecture Series, site visits, MBA Lecture Series events and Resume Book.

Whether you want to learn about investing, job opportunities, or increasing your general knowledge about real estate, please feel free to go to the WUREC website and request to be added to the listserv. Then, look out for upcoming speakers, treks, social events, and classes!

We are proud to be a student group at the University of Pennsylvania.

WUREC is not recruiting this semester. 

However, the club will be sending out a membership form via the listserv shortly. If you think you may be interested in applying for a committee in the fall, I recommend that you meet the new requirements for membership and take advantage of some of the opportunities that are being introduced this spring, which will also be shared through the listserv this semester.
