Its purpose is to empower undergraduate and graduate students by challenging them beyond the classroom—promoting thought leadership and innovation in the field of insurance and risk management. The Challenge provides students with valuable exposure to insurance professionals and gives them experience for their resume, while also introducing new insurance/risk management, accounting and finance talent to the industry.
