    A high school football star and college lacrosse player at Duke, Chris Hipps was headed to SMU Cox to compete in football with the Mustangs. But there was another story: Although he was a history major at Duke, Chris had discovered a passion for real estate during his summer internship, and he had chosen SMU Cox for its MSM program. Just a year later, Chris landed the role of vice president at Dallas real estate development company Direct Development.
