One opportunity I got through Fox is the federal re-entry program, where we volunteer at the federal courthouse in Old City and sit in on court sessions with people who are coming out of incarceration. It not only is a great opportunity for me to stand out, but also something that I really value.

The number one thing that Fox does to help students stand out is through SPO involvement. Through that I’ve gained a lot of access to industry executives and folks that can network with me and mentor me throughout my career and set me up for the future.

Classes teach you a lot, but it's the people and the relationships that you have that teach you much more. That's what Fox is. It's the relationships you generate through friends and professors that are going to lead you to success in the future.

Actuarial science is a nice blend of business, statistics and analytics in the risk management and insurance industry. Actuaries quantify the unknown costs of risks.

Risk Management and Insurance
I chose to major in Risk Management and Insurance because I felt like it would give me solutions and expertise that could not only benefit myself and companies that I would work for but also my family. It gave me a deeper understanding in retirement planning, financial planning and employee benefits.
