Tour of Aloft and Element
The 2016 interns spent half a day in July touring the recently completed Aloft and Element Hotels. The group was treated to lunch and then took a tour of both hotel properties, led by Kevin Aravind, the CVP Career Academy intern placed with Starwood. He guided the students through guest rooms, meeting rooms, amenity spaces and back of house to show his fellow interns how a hotel runs. The students were excited to learn how teammwork and attention to detail works together to present the best possible guest experience.
NAIOP Rock n’ Real Estate Harbor Cruise:
Reesa Fisher, Chief Operating Officer
for NAIOP MA, extended an invitation
to the 2016 CVP Career Academy
interns to join their annual harbor
cruise for NAIOP’s Developing
Leaders group. The group is
comprised of members age 35 and
below who work at real estate
related firms throughout Greater
Boston. This was a wonderful
opportunity for the interns to
interact and network directly with
young real estate professionals. Over
half of our program participants were
able to attend, connect with peers and
gain exposure to a number of firms.
Red Sox Games
In 2014 and 2015, the interns visited Fenway Park for an evening of fun, courtesy of KAGE. Representatives from UMass, CV Propeties and KAGE also joined the students. The group met before each game, took a short tour of the stadium, which included sitting atop the Green Monster and visiting the field during batting practice. After the tour, the group had dinner at the State Street Pavilion and had a great meal. The interns had a wonderful time bonding and hearing about each other's internship experiences.
