The Linder Finance Department houses several centers that bring together academia and practice by connecting students, faculty, and practitioners in a variety of formats.  The Johnson Investment Institute (JII) brings together practitioners and research faculty.  An important goal of the JII is providing students and faculty with access to state-of-the-art software and real-time data.  To that end, the JII manages the Johnson Investment Counsel Investment Lab.  The simulated trading floor found in the lab is a focal point of innovation within the new Lindner Hall.  The Carl H. Lindner III Center for Insurance and Risk Management seeks to understand and improve how economies, enterprises and individuals manage risk. The UC Real Estate Center is a resource for students and industry leaders to network and become immersed in the real estate industry. The Real Estate Center actively supports (1) corporate and industry-association partners, (2) scholarly research aimed at top-tier academic journals in real estate, urban economics, and finance, and (3) several undergraduate and graduate real estate programs.
