Welcome to the Herbert D. Weitzman Institute for Real Estate at UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management
The institute owes its existence to a $3 million legacy gift from longtime Texas commercial real estate businessman Herbert D. Weitzman and his wife, Donna. They wanted to support mentoring programs in real estate that would teach students to be entrepreneurial.
I am such a supporter of bringing in young people out of college,” Weitzman has said. “That’s one of our purposes with being a partner with UT Dallas. I think there is phenomenal opportunity here. This university is a phenomenal asset to the city, and it was the right fit. It’s the right location at the right time with the right people leading it.
