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 (CUREC), 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 CUREC, 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 CUREC鈥檚 impact on students and the real estate industry, and I know I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am today without CUREC. I look forward to serving the center in this new capacity.鈥

Leeds and CUREC 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 CUREC. 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 CU 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 CU the past several years, so he has seen firsthand the impact that CUREC has had on hundreds of CU students and alumni,鈥 said Julie Gibson, executive director of CUREC. 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 CUREC alumni board for 15 years. He joined CUREC's advisory board in 2023. He has also worked for the CU Real Estate Foundation in a project manager (asset manager/portfolio manager) role and was president of the Leeds MBA alumni board in 2018-19.
