Volunteering with Real Estate Students

Micahโ€™s experience volunteering with CU Real Estate students

The University of Colorado โ€“ Boulder has in-depth education for students interested in a career in the real estate industry. The program offers extensive course work and provides a multitude of opportunities for students to interact with industry leaders in the classroom.

Once a semester Micah, a broker associate with The Colorado Group, Inc is invited by the University of Coloradoโ€™s Real Estate Department to speak to the students.

โ€œI happily accept every request because I find it extremely rewarding to enlighten current undergrad students on the day-to-day life of a commercial real estate agent. Itโ€™s been very satisfying to help expand their knowledge and give them the information they need to determine what they would like to do within the real estate industry.โ€

Each discussion is very different and ranges from round table discussions, speaking on a panel, to one-on-ones with individual students. Regardless of the form of communication, one element is always consistent, the studentsโ€™ appreciation. Itโ€™s easy to see that the students are grateful for the time Micah and the other speakersโ€™ spend volunteering.

โ€œIโ€™ll continue to speak to the CU Real Estate students for as long as the University extends the invitation. Volunteering at CU has been an enriching, and fulfilling experience that I hope continues for a long time.โ€
