  The University of Denver is one of the nation’s oldest private universities west of the Mississippi, known for rigorous academics and a strong emphasis on ethics, leadership, and applied learning. Within the university, the Daniels College of Business is home to the Burns School of Real Estate & Construction Management, which traces its roots to the Berndt School of Real Estate, one of the oldest and most established real estate programs in the country.

  Built to bring academic discipline and real-world rigor to an industry that shapes communities, the program blends finance, market analysis, development, construction management, and risk assessment. Its focus is on feasibility, long-term value, and informed decision-making across the full life cycle of property. For clients, that background provides deeper insight into how homes are priced, built, evaluated, and positioned in the market, not just for today’s transaction, but with an eye toward durability and long-term outcomes.

  • miami beach, fl

  Commissioned on May 20, 1988, as the 18th Island-class patrol boat, the USCGC Baranof (WPB-1318) served for more than three decades in maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and national security operations. Over its 34 years of service, Baranof operated extensively in the Caribbean and later deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of U.S. Central Command, including missions tied to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

  After a distinguished career that included drug interdiction, migrant rescue, and overseas deployments, Baranof was decommissioned in Bahrain in September 2022. The cutter was subsequently replaced by the Fast Response Cutter USCGC Clarence Sutphin Jr., marking the close of a long and impactful chapter in Coast Guard service.

  USCG Pay & personnel center

  • Topeka, KS

  Established in 1979 in Topeka, Kansas, the U.S. Coast Guard Pay & Personnel Center was created to centralize and modernize pay, benefits, and personnel records for active-duty, reserve, and retired members. Based in the Frank Carlson Federal Building since 1982, the center supports thousands of service members worldwide through secure, evolving digital systems.

  Over time, the PPC consolidated previously fragmented functions and led major transitions to direct deposit, integrated electronic personnel systems, and expanded quality assurance and travel support. Today, it serves as the administrative backbone of Coast Guard workforce readiness, staffed by more than 200 military and civilian professionals supporting the Coast Guard, NOAA, and Public Health Service retirees.
