Pepperdine Graziadio’s A Conversation About Real Estate Now Live on YouTube

Pepperdine Graziadio Business School recently debuted A Conversation About Real Estate, a video conversation featuring three Pepperdine Graziadio faculty including host Abraham Park, associate professor of finance, and panelists Heather Boren, instructor of finance, and Michael Cusumano, adjunct faculty member and managing director of Cusumano Real Estate Group.

The conversation dives into the value of Graziadio’s Full-Time MS in Real Estate (MSRE) program, a 12-month program that develops the ability to solve complex challenges through a holistic lens, with a focus on financial analysis, law, economics, and decision-making. Boren and Cusumano also talk about their personal experience in the field and current trends they’re seeing in the real estate industry. 

“Many of our faculty are working professionals in the field of restate,” Boren said. “So we’re active [in the real estate world], seeing what’s out there, deal-making, negotiating, and structuring.” 

“By integrating both the academic and practitioner models, it allows our students to see real-world examples of what’s going on in the field right now,” Cusumano said.
