Master of Real Estate Program
Real Estate Organizations
Land Economics and Real Estate Association (LEREA)
Land Economics and Real Estate Association is a graduate networking and social organization open to all students in the Real Estate program.
This student organization for our program has continued to expand its activities beyond providing networking, football tailgates and other social activities such as Crawfish Boils, Rock Hero night and LEREA Olympics. They organized a Habitat for Humanity volunteer weekend and participated in the Big Event.
Part of the focus of this group is to assist current and prospective students interested in real estate as a career. Students preparing to graduate mentor new classes in obtaining internships, classroom projects and adjusting to graduate life.
Graduate Real Estate Women (GREW)
GREW’s purpose is to develop the talents and support the career goals of students in the Real Estate program through interaction with current Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Houston chapter members.
Real Estate Roundtable
Consisting of professionals in the industry, the Roundtable committee serves as the advisory board for the Real Estate program.
The Society of Texas A&M Real Estate Professionals (STAMREP)
Graduates of the Real Estate program organized the Society of Texas A&M Real Estate Professionals (STAMREP) to further their professional development and to assist the Real Estate program with its educational mission. Today, this professional organization has several hundred members who are active in real estate throughout Texas and the United States. A current directory of former Real Estate program students aids both former and current students to quickly find a friendly expert when information or advice is needed.
STAMREP makes significant contributions to the Real Estate Program. Through STAMREP's efforts, endowed scholarships provide annual awards to outstanding Real Estate program students. Each semester, students who have earned scholarships are recognized for their scholarly achievements.
Individual STAMREP members are regular visitors to our classrooms as a part of the organization's Mentoring Program and are regular participants in the Real Estate program's Real Estate Career Roundtable Day. In addition to providing our students with current information about the various opportunities in real estate, these classroom visitors often provide follow-up information to students who have a career interest in a specialized area. A significant number of our students obtain internships and permanent positions through the STAMREP network.
STAMREP's annual business meeting is devoted to updating its membership's real estate knowledge, to networking, and to planning its assistance to the Real Estate Program. There is also time for golf, catching up with old friends and making new friends. Attendance by current Real Estate program students is encouraged.
