CREW Network (www.crewnetwork.org) is an international business network with chapters in 66 markets throughout North America dedicated to promoting the success of women in all disciplines of commercial real estate.

As a catalyst for change, we seek opportunities to make a real difference by conducting sound research that analyzes, evaluates and impacts both the way we do business and the culture in which we work; developing professional skills to address the changing needs of the industry; and identifying new talent to bring fresh perspectives to the table.

The CREW Network Scholarship will be awarded based on academic excellence and is intended to help finance the educational endeavors of female undergraduate students enrolled in accredited real estate programs. As part of the scholarship package, each recipient will receive a paid internship at a commercial brokerage firm.

The ideal candidate will be a female enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at a college or university with an accredited real estate program. Applications will also be considered if the applicant is a female enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at an accredited college or university that does not have an accredited real estate program, but where the applicant is enrolled in business, finance, architecture, engineering, or other related field of study where it is the applicant’s intent to pursue a career in commercial real estate.

Business Today Regional Conference

Dear Dr. Hansz,

I am currently a student at Princeton University, and I work for a student group called Business Today, the largest student-run publishing organization in the country. Our organization's mission is to create a forum between university students and top business leaders. One of our flagship programs is the Business Today Regional Conference.

I was hoping that you would be kind enough to help us publicize the event with the Student Society of Real Estate. All that we ask is that you forward the attached flyer describing the event to your students. Please let students know that they can apply online here before January 15, 2009.

This year's conference will take place on March 28-29 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. The conference is entitled The Evolution and Ethics of Business in the 21st Century. The conference will feature top executives as both keynote speaker and seminar facilitators. The participants will have an opportunity to interact with and learn from America's top business leaders.

Business Today covers all costs for admitted students, including hotel, food and travel expenses. Ours is the only completely student-run business conference in the United States, and we would love to see some students from Universtiy of Texas at Arlington participate this year. Please have students email me at mabola@princeton.edu for more information about the conference, or visit our website for more information about Business Today in general.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Matt Abola
