ICSC Events:
As a Real Estate Student, I find it incredibly important to be involved within the professional scenes of Commercial Real Estate. As such, I have had the opportunity to attend a multitude of ICSC Conferences in a variety of different states on scholarship. I have attended ICSC Orlando, New York, and Las Vegas, and intend to continue attending them in the following years. Having access to these events as a student has been monumential in my development in the industry. Commercial real estate is about more than just understanding the market: The key is the relationships. I have had the ability to meet professionals that are dedicated to helping students such as myself, and it has been a key experience for me at UCF.
