Students meet with the late Tony Goldman at Wynwood Walls in the heart of Miami's Wynwood Art District that Goldman Properties is transforming from a sleepy warehouse district to a dynamic neighborhood blending a large number of art studios and galleries with restaurants, shops, lofts and an urban lifestyle.
The MRED+U Mentorship Program is considered an extremely valuable and important part of the student experience. The Program provides students with direct access to knowledgeable industry professionals and allows mentors an opportunity to play an instrumental role in the development of an emerging real estate professional. The Mentorship Program is not an internship program; rather, it is an advisory relationship and dialog between an established and an emerging professional.
