In February 2006, the Ross Program celebrated its third winter class! Students ranged in background and experience to comprise a top notch group of real estate professionals. There was stiff competition between the five student groups in the final adjudication process. As a result, there were two winning teams from the Real Estate development proposal project presentations. The program ended with a graduation ceremony and keynote address by Henry Cisneros, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and CEO of American City Vista with attendance from past alumni, Advisory Board members, friends and sponsors. Congratulations to the Ross Winter 2006 program participants!
