Still thinking about the impact we made at the UVA Real Estate Trek 🤍

Huge shoutout to Filip, Brady, and Dr. Marcos for representing UVA Wise so strongly at the DC reception. You didn’t just attend — you showed up. From confidently stepping into conversations with McIntire and Darden students to engaging industry leaders, you proved that UVA Wise belongs in every room we walk into.

The thoughtful, sharp questions directed to JLL, Walker & Dunlop, and CBRE didn’t go unnoticed — that kind of curiosity makes leaders pause and think.

The real estate world is built on connections and insight… and you brought both. So proud of our Department of Business & Economics! 🏙️✨
