MANAGEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY (MOT) RECEIVES $1.5 MILLION ENDOWMENT FOR SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM With the financial backing of a leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm, the Haas School of Business, the College of Engineering, and the School of Information Management and Systems are launching an innovative program that blends academic training in entrepreneurship with hands-on industry experience at Silicon Valley startups.? The Mayfield Fund, a top-tier venture capital firm headquartered in Menlo Park, California, has committed $1.5 million to fund the new program at UC Berkeley, to be called the UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows Program. The new program will be administered by the Management of Technology Program (MOT), a partnership created in 1988 by the above three units of the UC Berkeley campus. Under the UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows Program, graduate students selected from the College of Engineering, the Haas School of Business, and the School of Information Management and Systems work as summer interns at venture-backed high tech firms in Silicon Valley.? "I don't believe any other university offers its graduate students such rigorous training in starting new high-tech ventures, from both a business and a technology perspective," explains Richard Newton, dean of the College of Engineering.? "Add to that the opportunity to work directly for the CEO of a high-tech startup as part of the academic experience, and we have created something truly extraordinary for our students." The first group of UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows was announced this week, four each from the College of Engineering and the Haas School, all with extensive technical training and previous work experience in high tech. The names of the fellows will be announced at a later date. In addition to the summer internships, UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows participate in intensive classroom work, intended to blend the practical experience gained through their internships with the challenge and growth of a series of graduate seminars on technology and entrepreneurship. "The UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows Program is a great example of the way in which we're succeeding at blending hands-on industry experience at Silicon Valley companies into the Haas academic experience," says Andrew Isaacs, executive director of MOT. "The joint MOT-Lester Center collaboration on this program makes this new venture all the more exciting." The Mayfield Fund has made the $1.5 million commitment to UC Berkeley as part of its support of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), being created within UC as a focal point to apply advances in information technology to the solution of society's most critical needs. "Mayfield is excited by the opportunity to participate with UC Berkeley in a program that will enrich the entrepreneurial experience for graduate students," said Michael Levinthal, Mayfield Fund general partner. "The continual success of startups that have flowed from UC Berkeley to the Bay Area and beyond is exceptional, and Mayfield is proud of our association with this process." CALIFORNIA'S SLUMPING ECONOMY FACES MULTI-YEAR RECOVERY, SAYS RESEARCHERS As California's prosperous glow begins to tarnish, the state as a whole faces sharply escalating unemployment rates, a leveling off or decline in home prices, rising office vacancies, and reduced construction over the next two to three years.? These are the conclusions of Professor Dwight Jaffee and California economist Cynthia Kroll of the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics. In the center's recently released Spring 2001 Research Report, Jaffee and Kroll point to the vulnerability of California, and particularly of the San Francisco Bay Area, as the US economy slows.? The authors look at the state's experience in past recessions and conclude that a two to three year adjustment period is likely before the state resumes expansion. Jaffee and Kroll point out that the major stock price adjustments that occurred earlier this year reflected real changes in the economic factors driving California's economy.? Driven by expansion of dot-com and high tech sectors, computer programming employment alone grew by over 90,000 jobs in 2000, with much of this increase found in the San Francisco Bay Area.? The bursting of the dot-com bubble and subsequent lay-off announcements leave this sector -- and the Bay Area -- particularly vulnerable. The real estate market will also feel the effects in coming months, and the impact on the office real estate market is likely to be substantial. In fact, prices have already begun to decline in this sector. San Francisco's SoMa (South of Market) district, which has recently put on the market many offices geared toward dot-com-type firms, is most likely to suffer as a wave of these companies goes out of business. The authors argue that office rent's could drop substantially -- at least 10% in San Francisco's downtown area and perhaps as much as 50% in the areas most heavily affected by the dot-com bust. Dropping rents could temper the rise in vacancies.? Companies that were previously forced out of the market by sky-high lease prices are now looking at reduced rates. The residential real estate market will also be affected by the economic adjustment. Kroll and Jaffee expect the high-end residential real estate market, previously fueled by stock market gains, to contract the most as the crop of dot-com employees who found their way to quick wealth sell their newly overpriced homes. Lower- and mid-range markets will see more moderate price adjustments. Based on past history, the researchers maintain that job losses and declining real estate prices could continue for two to three years.? They point out that in the longer term, both Silicon Valley and California as a whole have shown an economic resilience and the ability to resume expansion after a slowdown or recession. UC BERKELEY TEAMS WIN TWO REAL ESTATE CHALLENGES Victory came to the Haas and other UC Berkeley graduate students who participated in the two most recent real estate competitions: the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) Challenge and the Bank of America Low-Income Housing Challenge. NAIOP Real Estate Development Challenge The Shovel returned to Berkeley last Thursday, May 3, as the Berkeley team took home this symbolic prize of the NAIOP Real Estate Development Challenge. The NAIOP competition is a challenge between graduate students at UC Berkeley and Stanford and is sponsored by the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties. This year's challenge: What is the economic future for a strip of land and buildings on a former military base, on an island, in a tertiary market of the Bay Area, Mare Island. Teams of five students proposed the best use, design, financing, and marketing of a commercial real estate project. In addition to strong market analysis, community buy-in, and a financial analysis that supported their phased development, the Cal team added something new: a dynamic marketing plan, including a 3-D video montage of site context, present and planned buildings and renderings, landscape, and waterfront. "Clearly the team leveraged the best talent of each member, orchestrating a comprehensive program for the base reuse," said Steve Chamberlin, adjunct professor at Haas who teaches real estate courses. "The city of Vallejo and the site developer, Legacy Properties, acknowledged how much they benefited from the Challenge exercise." UC Berkeley's 2001 NAIOP team included Aimee Einstein, MBA 02; Jonathan Fearn, Masters of City Planning 01; Chiendao Glasgow, Masters of Architecture 01; Maria Iniguez, MBA 01; and Sara Williams, MBA 02. UC Berkeley's team won the competition last year, bringing the decade-long battle with Stanford to a tie, five wins for each university. Winning this 12th Annual Cal-Stanford Real Estate Challenge changed the overall score to UC Berkeley - 7, Stanford - 5. Bank of America Low-Income Housing Challenge? Berkeley's team also won the Bank of America Low-Income Housing Challenge, a competition among several west coast graduate schools, in which each team must identify a viable site, gain community support, and then design, finance, and market an affordable housing project. A panel of professionals judges the projects. Berkeley's multi-disciplinary team proposed a project called Gateway Landing, to be located in downtown Oakland. The project proposed 70 units of housing affordable to families earning $20,000 - $40,000 per year. The project incorporates components of sustainable development, including energy efficiency design, links with public transportation, and programs for residents to aid upward mobility. In recognition of their efforts, the team received $2000, which they will donate to Urban Ecology and the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy. Copies of the team's final proposal are available on the web at http://sites.netscape.net/gtwylanding/sub1.htm. This year's team consists of Paul Correa, Masters of City Planning (MCP) 01; Alexandra Galovich, MBA 02; Shinichiro Ikeda, MCP 01; Christia Mulvey, MCP 01; Bao-Tran Truong, MCP 01; and Madeleine Zayas-Mart, MCP/Masters of Architecture 02. Final presentations were held on Wednesday, May 4, at 9:30 a.m. at the Bank of America Building in San Francisco.
