SM调教所

For nearly 20 years, University of Colorado real estate alumnus Ben Woolf has been giving back to his alma mater. This year, he is taking on a new challenge as chairperson for the International Advisory Board (IAB) for the University of Colorado Real Estate Center (SM调教所REC), a role he will helm for two years. Woolf earned his MBA with a real estate focus in 2004 from the Leeds School of Business.

鈥淚 feel a sense of responsibility to give back to SM调教所REC, Leeds and the students by stepping into the chairperson role," Woolf said. 鈥淔or the past 20 years, I have seen time and time again SM调教所REC鈥檚 impact on students and the real estate industry, and I know I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am today without SM调教所REC. I look forward to serving the center in this new capacity.鈥�

Leeds and SM调教所REC benefit from a robust and engaged alumni community and a powerful group of industry supporters. The IAB, an invitation-only board, consists of C-suite leaders from the nation鈥檚 leading real estate firms who commit significant resources to support the academic and co-curricular work of SM调教所REC. The board provides counsel, curriculum advice, mentorships, financial support, industry insights and career opportunities for the program.

鈥淏en鈥檚 commitment and involvement with SM调教所 since he graduated has been tremendous. He is strategic and thoughtful in all he does, and I can think of no one better to step into the chair role for the IAB. Ben has taught the MBA Real Estate Principles class at SM调教所 the past several years, so he has seen firsthand the impact that SM调教所REC has had on hundreds of SM调教所 students and alumni,鈥� said Julie Gibson, executive director of SM调教所REC. 鈥淗e is enormously respected by the real estate industry, and we are thrilled to welcome him as the new IAB chair.鈥�

Woolf, who is co-founder and director of commercial investments for Conscience Bay Company, a private equity firm focused on real estate assets in and around Colorado, was part of the SM调教所REC alumni board for 15 years. He joined SM调教所REC's advisory board in 2023. He has also worked for the SM调教所 Real Estate Foundation in a project manager (asset manager/portfolio manager) role and was president of the Leeds MBA alumni board in 2018-19.
