ACADEMIC CHALLENGE
CoreNet Global’s University Relations program works to raise awareness of corporate real estate among faculty, staff, and students at universities around the world in order to cultivate a robust and diverse pipeline of talent into the profession. Through the Academic Challenge, we invite students from around the world to think creatively about a problem facing real estate professionals for renowned companies like Google, Duke Energy, AstraZeneca, Whirlpool, and many others. They create a student team that competes for a US $5,000 cash prize for their team.
The Academic Challenge has a total reach of more than 1,000,000 at 2000+ universities around the globe. Today’s students represent tomorrow’s talent and decision-makers, and the Academic Challenge offers an exceptional opportunity for visibility and recruitment.
