Membership Benefits
The Wharton Undergraduate Real Estate Club is excited to announce its redefined membership program. In an effort to promote engagement and offer a more unique experience to its members, the club is asking all interested students to complete the WUREC Membership Signup.
Through a process of reflection and feedback, we feel that students with a passion for real estate will be best served through a program with defined responsibilities, clear structure and standards, and select opportunities tailored to those with active membership status.
While the club will continue to offer its events to the broader extracurricular community, the following benefits will be reserved for those who register and fulfill the requirements, as specified in the membership form.
“Meet the Board” coffee chats
Access to our MBA Mentorship Program
Opportunity to contribute articles to the WUREC blog
Consideration for Trek visits
Zell-Lurie Center Resume Book and Mentorship Program
Networking events
Recruiting Email Hotline (48-Hour Response Time) - ask.wurec@gmail.com
We appreciate your interest in the club and look forward to delivering a memorable and valuable experience.
WUREC does not require membership dues, however, certain club-related events such as treks, may require contribution.
