Founders Circle

A new era of the Mitchell College of Business real estate program began in 2025 with the academic transition from a concentration to a major and the addition of program director and professor Dr. Grayson Glaze. 

One of the driving forces behind this growth has been the Founders Circle, a group of forward-thinking companies that are investing in the next generation of real estate talent. To continue to meet the program’s foundational needs, we are calling on the region’s industry leaders to join the Founders Circle.

100% of the funds collected through the Founders Circle program will go towards enhancing the undergraduate student experience through,

  • Experiential learning
  • Skill certifications
  • Networking opportunities
  • Case study competitions

Founders Circle members will also benefit from,

  • Company recognition
  • Invitations to program functions
  • Talent engagement opportunities
