Peter Linneman
Prof. Peter Linneman Receives Graaskamp Award
The Pension Real Estate Association's biennial James A. Graaskamp award was
presented to Peter D. Linneman at the 2009 PREA Fall Conference on October 28 in
Beverly Hills, Calif. Linneman has requested that the $10,000 scholarship that
accompanies the Graaskamp Award be divided between Wharton's Zell-Lurie Real
Estate Center for an undergraduate or graduate real estate student, and his alma
mater, Ashland University. "It is a great honor receiving this award from
PREA, and the generous scholarship will help deserving students at these
institutions," says Prof. Linneman. According to PREA, Linneman's "body
of work embodies the very spirit of the Graaskamp Award, which is given to
recognize those persons who contribute to the common body of knowledge some
practical insights gained through significant research." The award
highlights and encourages high-quality research in institutional investment in
real estate, and is named in memory of the late Dr. James A. Graaskamp, a
distinguished professor of real estate at the University of Wisconsin, and a
champion of research of immediate use to investment decision makers.
