BOMA welcomed 25 local students and three military vets to its annual Career Day to introduce them to all aspects of commercial real estate, including asset management, engineering, and property management. BOMA education manager Catie Slye (far right) tells us that today they'll be paired up with industry mentors and learn about different career areas in a round-robin discussion. The students—who hail from local colleges like Valencia, UCF, Seminole State, FSU, and DeVry—also got the opportunity to meet with BOMA fellows and hear from org chair Rich Greninger.

Among the industry pros offering insights: CBRE senior real estate manager Lynn Vilmar. After joining the rest of BOMA attendees for the general and educational sessions, the students will cap off the day with BOMA/Georgia prez Marcy Moneypenny of CBRE Asset Services, who'll give them hot tips on what recruiters look for as well as interviewing skills. The day was put together with the help of BOMA's Marissa Mitzner, Colliers' Richard King, CBRE's Lacey Willard, Holladay Properties' Laura Ragans, and Irvine Co Office Properties' Kristen Apple-Dunne.
