ICSC Foundation Announces 2011 Under-Graduate Real Estate Award Recipients




New York  – The International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Foundation announced today that 24 schools, including Florida State, University of Florida and University of Central Florida have been awarded the 2011 Undergraduate Real Estate Award. 

These undergraduate schools were selected based on an overall rating that included its number of ICSC student members, academic ranking, strength of real estate program, industry involvement, faculty investment, real estate clubs and ICSC conference participation.
Established in 2009, the Undergraduate Real Estate Award Program annually provides up to 25 $1,000 awards to a college or university to be given to a junior or senior enrolled in their undergraduate real estate program. 

Students are chosen by the dean of their respective programs based on their dedication to a career in retail real estate as demonstrated by their overall academic and extracurricular involvement.  In addition to the $1,000 for tuition and other related expenses, each award recipient will also receive a free ICSC student membership for one year.

“The two primary objectives of this awards program are first, to help familiarize universities and colleges that offer real estate as an undergraduate major with ICSC and second, to help build and strengthen relationships between those undergraduate real estate programs and ICSC,” said Valerie J. Cammiso, (middle right photo) executive director of the ICSC Foundation.

  “We are very pleased with the success of the program so far and, on behalf of ICSC and the ICSC Foundation, I would like to congratulate the 2011 award recipients,” added Cammiso.
