~U $1.5M gift establishes center
~U Research, ethical standards highlighted
California State University, Fresno announced Monday a gift to create
a $1.5 million endowment which will be used to establish the Arnold
and Dianne Gazarian Real Estate Center in the Craig School of Business.
Arnold Gazarian, a retired dentist, is a member of the California
State University, Fresno Foundation Board of Governors. Dianne Gazarian
serves as chair of the Berberian & Gazarian Family Foundation.
"We hope that this gift will assist the university in making it a
leader in educating real estate professionals, conducting real-world
research and promoting high ethical standards," says Mr. Gazarian,
in written comments. "We also hope that the center will bring together
members of the real estate community to discuss issues of importance
to the industry."
The money enables Fresno State to create a center that will support
the Craig School's Real Estate and Urban Land Economics option and
major for students as well as the expansion of research by faculty
and graduate students. The center will assess trends in commercial
retail, office, residential and investment markets; analyze land
use planning; and conduct research in such areas as single- and
multi-family residential housing, commercial real estate and real
estate financial assets.
In addition, the Gazarian Center will sponsor conferences, seminars
and workshops in real estate and land use.
The Gazarians have made previous gifts to the university including
gifts to the President's Fund, Smittcamp Alumni House, the Haig and
Isabel Berberian endowed chair in Armenian Studies, the Craig School
of Business and the Kremen School of Education and Human Development.
"This generous gift will position the Gazarian Real Estate Center as an
academic leader in real estate market analysis and research and will
help to further the university's goal of helping the economy grow,"
says John Welty, president of Fresno State.
The Gazarian Real Estate Center will also provide students
opportunities to learn the business side of real estate and apply
their academic knowledge to real-world projects and experiences. The
real estate business community will gain a valuable informational
resource relating to the greater Fresno metropolitan area and Central
Valley region, as well as access to student interns and potential
future employees.
