If you are a RMI degree major, or if you are curious about risk management, insurance, and actuarial science career opportunities, Gamma Iota Sigma has a lot to offer you.
CONTACT WITH THE RISK MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE COMMUNITY
Through Gamma Iota Sigma, you will have many opportunities to meet, talk, and socialize with members of the risk management and insurance community. From them, you can get first hand knowledge of this prominent and vital community. Not only are the friendships you develop helpful while you are a student (resources for class work) but can also be vital to you when you graduate and enter the job market.
This interplay with local representatives of the risk management and insurance community takes place in a number of ways. Many chapters sponsor a Student-Community Banquet as the highlight of the year. This banquet is held to honor outstanding students and to make the community more aware of the chapter.
Career Days are planned to bring in risk management employers and representatives of insurance companies to interview Gamma Iota Sigma members. Along with Career Days, most chapters put together a Resume Book containing the resumes, and often the photos, of members.
Student-Employer Retreats combine social and educational experiences for selected students and faculty members as they meet with employer representatives at a resort away from the campus.
Tours of local risk management and insurance companies are held so you can see their facilities and learn about companies and how they operate. Many informal socials, picnics, and parties provide additional means for you to get acquainted with potential employer representatives.
RIMSNET is an electronic news and communications system for RIMS members. It is an integrated one-stop online source of information. RIMSNET accessibility by members of collegiate chapters is made possible by a Grand Chapter grant.
Students are often encouraged to attend meetings of local CPCU, CLU, RIMS Agents or other professional organizations to provide more interaction with career professionals.
Through activities such as these, you can learn about insurance beyond the classroom and receive the most realistic picture possible of a RMI career.
