Fordham Student Association
The Fordham Hospitality Institute and Real Estate Institute Student Associations provide opportunities for hospitality, real estate, and construction management graduate students to pursue their professional and academic goals beyond the classroom. To supplement in-class learning, student clubs organize group activities that hone leadership skills, introduce new career opportunities, and establish a life-long professional network.
Recognizing that the hospitality, real estate, development and construction industry is a relationship business and that networking skills are invaluable, the Fordham REI Executive Advisory Council has supported activities through generous gifts. "We are deeply grateful to the EAC, " said Dean Davidson. “As our students are launching and developing their careers in hospitality, real estate, and construction, they are actively seeking opportunities to build relationships with others in their field, and EAC gifts allow us to provide them the resources to do just that.”
