CREW Careers – High School Student Summit
CREW in the Community
What We Do
The CREW Dallas Commercial Real Estate Student Summit is a full-day, immersive experience designed to introduce high school students to the wide range of career opportunities in commercial real estate. Presented by CREW Dallas and CREW in the Community, the Summit connects students with industry professionals through hands-on property tours, small-group career breakout sessions, and interactive programming — all at no cost to students or their schools. Our goal is to broaden access and exposure to CRE careers, with a particular focus on creating pathways for students from Title I schools and underserved communities across the DFW metroplex.

Information/Career Video Submission
Members are invited to submit a one to two-minute video touching on the following information and questions:
Can you tell us your name, employer, and position?
Where did you go to school, and what is your degree in? Also, list your credentials, if applicable.
What do you do in your job?
Why do you love your job?
For the sake of consistency between videos, we ask that you record your video using Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx, or a similar platform while using the CD Teams video background available at the link below.
To record your video, we recommend starting a meeting with yourself in Teams. Please see instructions LINKED HERE on how to set up the recording, add the background, and access the recording once complete.
Important: When you upload the CD Teams background, any text or logos in the image may appear backward in the Teams preview. This is expected. Teams mirrors your camera view while recording, and the final downloaded video will display the background correctly.
For reference, please review the sample video: LINK
