Named after the late Jeff Barclay, former NAREIM Chairman, Managing Director and Head of Acquisitions at Clarion Partners, and Head of Goldman Sachs' Real Estate Group, the NAREIM Jeff Barclay Fellows award is given to five outstanding graduate students with the goal to provide insights into the future of real estate investment management.
These students will receive the unique opportunity to attend NAREIM's Executive Officer meeting, where they will network with C-suite and executives, as well as attend any of our other 9 functional group meetings.
Eligibility
Graduate students committed to pursuing a career in commercial real estate or real estate investment management upon graduation.
