An Introduction to the Actuarial Profession

Erin Campbell Wagner, CNA Insurance - Chicago

I will share an insider's look at the journey from classroom to career in a profession consistently touted by national media as the career of choice because of its robust employment and career growth opportunities, lucrative salaries, challenging work and rewarding experiences. In addition to providing an overview of actuarial science and what it takes to enter the field, I will walk students through the basics of a traditional actuarial project. Come prepared to brainstorm how to use data to answer real-world questions! 

Refreshments precede the talk at 3:30 p.m. in SB 110.
