    3. The idea for the course came while driving around Detroit to evaluate the city’s real-estate market with a group of former teammates in the spring of 2016.

    5. More than 200 students requested to enroll in the 30-seat seminar, making it the most popular course offering in the Urban Studies department for the spring 2019 semester, and proving the benefits of broadening one's reach and expanding influence when the right opportunities arise.
