Great lunch experience today at the Bailey Center! Elizabeth Small brought the Eisenberg Real Estate Competition team together to present to donors who helped send them to Chicago. We can all be extremely - and I mean extremely - proud of these students for the outstanding presentation they gave, representing tons of work to be prepared for this. Thank you seems too little for the guidance and encouragement Elizabeth provides.

If you see her, congratulate the team and her. And thanks to those supporting our students, so they can have life changing experiences like this competition - traveling to Chicago and going toe to toe with top schools from across the nation.
