Legends in Real Estate Development Highlight Whitman Day Celebration
The Martin J. Whitman School of Management’s annual Whitman Day celebration will feature Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, a global commercial real estate services leader headquartered in New York City and among the world’s largest commercial real estate services firms.

The breakfast and Whitman Day event with Mosler will be held on Thursday, April 24, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the Whitman School’s Flaum Grand Hall. Moderating the event will be Whitman alumnus Harold A. Fetner ’83, president and CEO of Fetner Properties Inc., which provides luxury high-rise apartment living in New York City.
Fetner will discuss with Mosler how Cushman & Wakefield, with revenues of $9.5 billion in 2023, 400 offices in 60 countries and approximately 52,000 employees and 5,100 million square feet of commercial space, strategically selected its building locations. They will explore the types of housing Cushman & Wakefield provides, and how technology plays a vital role in the current real estate market.
Mosler will also offer advice to current Whitman students eager to learn from his success and discuss the steps necessary to further enhance innovation both in his field and in the overall business arena.

“I’m always excited to be on campus, so I’m delighted to be at the school celebrating Whitman Day with my friend, Bruce Mosler. We’ll be moderating a conversation about my two favorite topics—Syracuse University and real estate. What could be better?” says Fetner.
Whitman Day is an annual event to celebrate—both in-person and virtually—how the Whitman School has positively impacted students, faculty, alumni and supporters while encouraging all to continue helping the school prepare future leaders in an ever-changing business environment.
In-person regional celebrations will also be held in Washington, D.C, Los Angeles, Boston, New York City and San Francisco. Register today. For more information, visit the Whitman Day website.
