Real estate is an ever-evolving industry that requires new innovators and leaders to move the market forward. As Canada’s real estate company, Royal LePage is a dedicated supporter of educational programs that empower future real estate experts. One of the ways the organization is encouraging professional development is through the Royal LePage Award and Royal LePage Leadership Award at Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM).
The 2022 winners of these two notable awards were recently announced. Fifth-year business technology management student, Zahra Adelzadeh, is the recipient of the Royal LePage Award, and third-year real estate management student, Cristian Andres Vanegas, is the winner of the Royal LePage Leadership Award. Enrolled in TRSM’s Top 200 program, Adelzadeh is a case competition enthusiast with a growing skill set in analytics and research. In addition to his major, Vanegas is pursuing a double minor in finance entrepreneurship and innovation, and is working towards his candidacy at the Appraisal Institute of Canada to obtain AACI designation.
TMU’s Royal LePage scholarships are given to students enrolled at TRSM who have demonstrated leadership in the university and the broader community. Other considerations include academic excellence, financial need and racial diversity. TMU, which offers a Real Estate Management undergraduate major, is one of a select few post-secondary schools in Canada that offers a degree program in real estate studies.
“I applaud Zahra and Cristian for their hard work and dedication, and congratulate them on their well-deserved recognition with these Royal LePage awards,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage. “Royal LePage is proud to assist the development and growth of TRSM’s real estate program, so that passionate students can be supported on their path to a successful career in one of Canada’s most dynamic and exciting industries. Students today become the leaders of tomorrow, and we feel that it is important to give future real estate professionals, entrepreneurs and technologists the tools they need to succeed.”
