Kuhn of NKF and wife give $1m to NYU-REI

Newmark Knight Frank president James Kuhn and his wife Marjorie have given a $1 million endowment to the Real Estate Institute (NYU-REI) at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies—one of the largest gifts ever received by the Institute—to fund a permanent initiative to promote greater diversity in the real estate industry. The James and Marjorie Kuhn Program to Foster Diversity in Real Estate will support student recruitment and scholarships, professional mentoring, career placement, and other activities at the NYU-REI. Founded in 1967, the NYU-REI is home to graduate and professional continuing education programs in real estate, construction management, and related fields. The Institute is also renowned for hosting annual industry-wide conferences, such as the annual NYU REIT Symposium and the NYU Real Estate Capital Markets Conference.
