Lewis University is proud to announce the establishment of the Lowell Stahl Center for Real Estate Studies at Lewis University, made possible by a generous gift from real estate magnate and philanthropist Lowell I. Stahl. The Center, conveniently located at the Lewis University Oak Brook Campus, provides an opportunity to study the short and long term impact of growth from various perspectives such as: quality of life, commercial and residential real estate development, economics, education, transportation, workforce and culture, as well as recreation and entertainment.

The Stahl Center educational programs feature seminars, speaker series, and classes leading to certificates in real estate studies beginning with a certificate program in commercial real estate. Strategic partnerships with local, regional and national leaders connect students with opportunities in the real estate field and address the contemporary needs of the real estate industry. The Stahl Center for Real Estate Studies:

  • Serves as a catalyst to encourage and support students interested in the field of real estate.

  • Provides career placement assistance to students seeking to work in this field.

  • Offers opportunities for alumni who work in the real estate industry to network with each other, and to serve as mentors for our students.
