The gifts will be made to the following two newly established JHSF Funds at NYU SPS:

“We are grateful to JHSF for their generous gift and support for the NYU SPS Schack Institute,” said Marc Norman, associate dean at the NYU SPS Schack Institute of Real Estate. “Their support will open up a host of opportunities for students to study real estate with us at Schack and dramatically expand our students' ability to be exposed to global real estate opportunities through hands-on, real-world experiences in South America.”
“JHSF is delighted to assist the NYU SPS Schack Institute in helping students pursue a career in real estate and help deliver a true global learning experience with new field intensives in South America,” said José Auriemo Neto, chairman of JHSF. “We hope our gift to NYU SPS will open up a new world of possibilities for individuals interested in commercial real estate.”
