Real Estate Group
The Real Estate Group convenes alumni and friends working in various real estate fields for networking. It provides access to prominent names in New York City-area real estate, offering insights into the industry in subspecialties such as residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, multi-family, office market and real estate capital markets. The group’s annual Real Estate Day Conferences have sold out every year.
Private Equity Group
This new group hosts prominent names in the private equity industry, designed to help alumni grow and network. The PEG’s inaugural event was an invitation-only dinner geared toward helping alumni in their 30s and 40s grow their connections and learn from top industry experts.
Nonprofit Professionals
This networking group is for alumni and friends working in nonprofit organizations and agencies across all areas, Jewish and secular. It launched in the Spring of 2019 to bring together nonprofit professionals from the YU community. YU understands that non-profit Jewish leaders make the Jewish world thrive, and part of our mission is to support and help grow these often-unsung heroes of the Jewish world.
Young Alumni Committees
Young alumni (ages 23-32) form ad hoc committees to organize numerous events each year on a variety of topics, including finance, artificial intelligence and halacha. These gatherings further the life and career goals of YU's young alumni, keeping them engaged with each other and the University. Young alumni typically kick off the year with a summer social geared toward engaging the newest alumni (that year’s recent graduates) and go on to host additional events throughout the year focusing on timely, career-related topics.
