[Excerpt] We are honored to present the 12th Volume of the Cornell Real Estate Review (CRER), a student edited and managed publication with oversight from faculty in the Baker Program in Real Estate at Cornell University. A continuation of the tradition of thought leadership in real estate, the CRER strives to promote practical learning and to introduce readers to new concepts and practices. As editors, it is our duty to marry scholarly discourse with professional applicability and to create a publication that reflects the values of the Baker Program.
