The Vieth Institute for Real Estate Advisory Board exists to guide and support Marquette’s Real Estate, Construction Engineering, and Real Estate Law programs, as well as to provide advice to the Institute's Director and staff, and develop and strengthen Institute relationships in the industry.

The advisory board will help advance excellence in Jesuit business education from the real estate, construction engineering and real estate law perspective, and advisory board members will serve as ambassadors of these programs in their professional communities and serve as a source of new ideas to enhance curriculum rigor, student experiences, internships & job placements, industry knowledge, outreach and fundraising.
