Baruch College’s newly formed Real Estate Alumni Club held an inaugural mixer in May in the recently restored Empire Room on the ground floor of the Empire State Building. A highlight of the event was a speech by Times Equities CEO Francis Greenburger (’74), who talked about his start and subsequent rise within the business.
The fledgling organization was featured in the New York Real Estate Journal, which quoted club president Joe Berko (’02, president, Berko & Associates): “It’s our way of paying it forward and creating a strong platform for future graduates to find easier job placement in the industry as well as maintain and create a community of professionals in the field.” Eddy Antar (’05, VP of acquisitions and leasing, MAS Management) is the club’s VP.
The club’s mission is “to provide support for social, educational, and recreational programs in cooperation with Baruch’s Department of Real Estate and the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute.” To join, visit alumni.baruch.cuny.edu/groups.
