Welcome to the Ivory-Boyer Real Estate Center!
My first interaction with the Ivory-Boyer Real Estate Center (IBREC) came as an MBA student in 2010 at the David Eccles School of Business.  Buzz Welch, the first Executive Director of the center, taught a real estate finance class I enrolled in.  His classroom style of experiential-learning and guest lectures from industry greats like Clark Ivory stuck with me.  The course left me with a strong impression of the hands-on and practitioner-oriented nature of the university’s MRED program.

Since then, I have had the pleasure of serving as an adjunct instructor, a member of the Utah Real Estate Challenge planning committee, and an IBREC board member.  In each of these settings, experiential learning takes center stage and industry professionals, faculty, and alumni form part of our real estate ecosystem that catalyzes thought-leadership and networking.

I’m excited to lead IBREC as we expand our impact. IBREC supports both graduate and undergraduate students as they embark on careers in commercial real estate. We are also producing research relevant to the real estate industry in the Intermountain West with the help of our Research Director Dejan Eskic. Finally, we disseminate and support cutting-edge faculty research.

Please join us in developing leaders that will shape the future of real estate.  Whether you are a student looking to chart your course in real estate, or a professional hoping to deepen your connections and learn, we will all be better because of your contributions of time and expertise.

Go Utes!
Sincerely,

David Bauman, MBA
