Moderating the event will be another legend in real estate, Whitman alumnus Harold A. Fetner ’83, P’13, P’20, president and CEO of Fetner Properties Inc., which provides luxury high-rise apartment living in New York City.

During the event, Fetner will discuss with Mosler how Cushman & Wakefield has strategically selected its building locations and what types of housing it provides, as well as how technology plays a vital role in the current real estate market. Mosler will also offer advice to Whitman students eager to learn from his success and discuss the steps necessary to further enhance innovation both in his field and the overall business arena.

“I’m always excited to be on campus, so I’m delighted that I’ll be at the school celebrating Whitman Day with my friend Bruce Mosler. We’ll be moderating a conversation about my two favorite topics—Syracuse University and real estate. What could be better?” says Fetner.

Whitman Day is an annual event to celebrate—both in-person and virtually—how the Whitman School of Management has positively impacted its thriving community of students, faculty, alumni and supporters, as well as encourage all to continue to help the school prepare future leaders in an ever-changing business environment.
