As it has been discussed and proven, real estate continues to be more than just numbers and financial statements. It involves people, places, and relationships. With that continued understanding, the Baker Program In Real Estate, which functions jointly between Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, Art, Architecture, and Planning, and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management will further its mission to provide graduate candidates focused in the commercial business of real estate, the best holistic education available by embarking on Inter-Session trips during the 2017-2018 Academic Year. As second year students prepare for their future careers, they will have the opportunity to study in Dubai over the course of a week, learning firsthand how the country has grown through domestic and international investment. First year students will continue the trend of visiting the city that hosts the fall ULI conference, traveling to Seattle, WA.
