Professors Ray Calnan, Deborah Cours & Melanie Stallings Williams publish research showing the value of real-life consulting projects for real estate students

In their paper, “Connecting to the real world: Incorporating student consulting projects in real estate programs” faculty from CSUN’s David Nazarian College of Business & Economics discuss the significant opportunities for real estate students to develop and apply academic concepts, give meaningful assistance to small businesses, and foster constructive relationships between universities and the larger business community. These projects support the university’s community engagement goals by incorporating service learning opportunities.
