Alumni & Friends Basketball Reception The University of Connecticut Real Estate Center Council (UCRECC) Alumni and Friends Basketball Reception was held on Monday February 16th at the Downtown Graduate Learning Center. Over 150 alumni and friends gathered for the reception prior to the men's UConn vs. Pittsburgh game. The evening reception featured a welcome by Professor in Residence, Katherine Pancak; Center for Real Estate Director, John Clapp; and School of Business Dean, Chris Earley. Each spoke briefly about the Center's accomplishments, contributions to the industry and of the alumni network. Dean Earley also spoke about recent changes within the School of Business. The evening concluded with (1)UConn's nail-biting 68-76 loss to (4)Pittsburgh, which ended UConn's 13-game winning streak. This event is always a favorite among our alumni and friends and we look forward to next year. To view event photos, please click here .
