From Madison to Laguna Beach, Dean Andy Policano has drafted another UW star; this time Kerry Vandell, to run the Center for Real Estate at the Paul Merage School of Business at UCIrvine. He's off to a fast start, building an advisory board of 53 executives from many of the large real estate companies in the region, each making multi-year pledges to the Center. One partner is Green Street Advisors, they're helping to focus the curriculum and providing funding.
