Boston, MA — Suffolk University alum and former women’s basketball record-holder Jennifer DiCecco has returned to her alma mater as an industry leader, launching a first-of-its-kind research partnership with the Sawyer Business School. Now SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Elite Wellness Amenity Group, DiCecco is leading a study on how onsite wellness activation impacts multifamily performance, including retention, occupancy stability, rent growth, resident engagement, satisfaction, and long-term asset value. “Suffolk shaped my discipline and leadership,” said DiCecco. “To come back and give students hands-on exposure to real pilots and real data is a full-circle moment.” Students across real estate, finance, analytics, marketing, and management will analyze live engagement metrics and help produce a co-branded white paper for owners and operators. The research is underway, with findings expected in 2025.
