It’s official: Baruch College has a new named department, its fourth. The William Newman Real Estate Department was dedicated late last year in honor of real estate industry legend Bill Newman (’47, LLD [Hon.] ’97), founder and former chairman of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc.
“The Newman name, like that of our namesake, Bernard Baruch, has become closely associated with this institution,” said College President Mitchel B. Wallerstein to the group of over 40 dignitaries and friends in attendance. “Bill’s legacy to the College includes important programs, spaces, and entire buildings. His leadership has created a culture of giving back that is vital to the future of the College.”
