Engaged Alumni Network

As one of the School’s most engaged alumni networks, we have chapters in cities across the country. Our chapters actively organize events, share job openings, and post news and relevant information through social media.

Joining the Wood Center

The Wood Center provides real estate alumni with regular opportunities to connect across the country and around the globe. We maintain a mailing list solely for the Wood Center which is comprised of alumni and friends of our program. Reminders and invitations to our annual real estate conference are sent through our mailing list.

Local Alumni Groups

Looking to connect locally with UNC real estate alumni? We have chapters in cities across the country. Our chapters often organize local events and host current MBA students on career treks which can foster relationships that will span your professional life. We have active chapters in New York City, Washington DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as here in Raleigh-Durham.  As a real estate alum, you can elect to join your local chapter by joining the Wood Center’s mailing list above.  Looking to start a new chapter?  Email us.

UNC Real Estate Online

The UNC Real Estate Alumni Network is a closed LinkedIn group that provides a platform to post interesting news, events and job opportunities.  The group is a great resource for local events and registration.  If you are a UNC graduate and a real estate professional, join our LinkedIn group and start networking!
