Six Georgetown University graduate students were selected as Poland Real Estate Fellows in the 2024-2025 fellowship class. 

The Poland Family Endowed Fund was established in 2012 by Mary and Bill Poland to create the Poland Family Real Estate Fellows Program.  The purpose of the Fellows Program is to create a select community of highly talented, emerging business leaders who are dedicated to the field of commercial real estate.  It is expected that this community of Fellows will develop in number and prestige over time and will be well positioned to exert significant influence upon the educational experience for real estate students at Georgetown Steers.

Fellows are selected annually from full-time, 2nd Year MBA students that have demonstrated academic ability, leadership, and significant interest in a real estate profession through active participation in real estate activities throughout their academic program.

Students accepting the fellowship receive a $10,000 scholarship toward their educational pursuits in the Georgetown McDonough MBA program.

This year’s Poland Real Estate Fellow recipients are:

• Michelle Juma (MBA’25)
• Ross Drwal (MBA ’25)
• Yannick Ariebuwa (MBA’25)
• Eva Zhang (MBA’25)
• Melanie Sunnerberg (MBA’25)
