A big congratulations goes out to a four risk management and insurance students here at Missouri State University.

Every year the Risk Management and Insurance Society (RIMS) hosts an Annual Conference. The conference is one of the biggest events for all risk management and insurance professionals with as many as 10,000 registered attendees. This year, the conference will be held from April 26-May 1 in Denver, Colorado, and we are proud to say that some of our fellow students will be attending.

Sarah Shelton, Jennifer Richey, Hillary Rice, and Casey Cornelius, all executive members of Gamma Iota Sigma,the Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science Fraternity at MSU entered into the 2014 Spencer RIMS Risk Management Challenge in which they had to act as a broker and develop a risk proposal for Snap-On, Inc. They finished in the top 10 of all teams, which qualified them to be sponsored to attend the conference and present in front of a group of risk management professionals as well as the Risk Manager of Snap-On, Inc.

While they are attending this conference, not only will they be competing against other teams with their risk proposal, but they will be attending student educational sessions, exploring career fairs, and meeting with countless employers! This is an opportunity of a life-time for this group. We wish them the best of luck!
