global alumni network “ Georgetown’s was crucial in helping me secure both my internship and full-time position. Through the Steers Center for Global Real Estate, I crossed paths with a number of alumni who were active in my professional development. Ultimately, it was an alumni connection I made during my freshman year at Georgetown that led to an opening at Vornado Realty Trust. It is amazing to think that one of my first experiences at Georgetown would come full circle and help me land my fulltime job four years later. Due to Georgetown’s powerful alumni network and hands-on educational experiences offered through courses and clubs, I was able to excel within my internships and discover the right career path for me.
