About Us

Our Mission


The Trojan Real Estate Association (TREA) is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of real estate professionals. We provide students with the tools, resources, and connections they need to thrive in the commercial real estate industry. Since our founding in 1990, TREA has been committed to fostering career development, mentorship, and a strong community for students interested in private equity, investments, development, and brokerage.

TREA is an inclusive organization that welcomes anyone with an interest in real estate, regardless of their academic background or prior experience. Whether you are exploring the field for the first time or have defined career goals, our organization offers comprehensive resources and a supportive environment to help you excel.​

What We Offer

Bi-Weekly Events

Engage with alumni and industry leaders through career panels, company site visits, networking socials, and more. Our events are designed to offer insights into the real estate world while helping students build their professional networks.

Mentorship Programs

We offer two tailored mentorship programs:

  • Lowerclassmen Mentorship Program: Freshman and sophomore TREA members are paired with experienced upperclassmen mentors. They meet bi-monthly to discuss topics such as internship applications, resume building, academic guidance, and market insights.
  • Upperclassmen Mentorship Program: Juniors and seniors have the unique opportunity to connect with Trojan alumni through our partnership with the USC Alumni Real Estate Network (AREN). This program focuses on advanced career development, covering themes such as property types, workplace culture, hard skills training, and future career mapping.

Dining Society

TREA’s Dining Society is an exclusive opportunity for top members to attend intimate dinners or lunches with real estate professionals. In groups of 3-4, students engage in meaningful discussions, gaining industry insights and strengthening their connections within the Trojan alumni network.

Analyst Program

Prepare for real estate recruiting with our five-session technical series. This program covers asset classes, market analysis, financial modeling, and other essential skills to help students stand out in the job market.

Industry Night

Our marquee event, held every Spring, provides TREA members with the chance to connect with professionals from 70-80 real estate firms. Industry Night begins with a networking reception and keynote remarks, followed by structured roundtable discussions. Students rotate through three 20-minute sessions, engaging directly with industry representatives from firms specializing in brokerage, investment, development, and more. Note: This is not a job fair but an opportunity to build relationships and gather industry insights. Eligibility requires a minimum of four TREA points.
