Summary 

Through its University Connections initiative, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) is offering programming for students to introduce them to ULI Student Membership.

The program introduces students to ULI at the local, national, and global levels and connects them to the global network of leaders who are ULI members, and inspires them to become leaders throughout their careers.

ULI seeks to welcome diverse students into the commercial real estate industry and related fields as we continue to grow the diversity and inclusivity of ULI’s own member network and the broader industry. ULI’s network and resources provide an impactful, interdisciplinary opportunity for a lifetime career and educational journey so that all students can change the world for the better.
