Alumni Achievements

While I was at the CIA's annual meeting in Toronto June 21-22nd, I ran into several U of R ActSci Alumni, three of whom were hitting actuarial milestones.  Paul Gobeil (class of 2008) received his FCIA during the meeting.

In addition, Derek Beatch and Kali Spencer (both class of 2010) were not at the CIA meeting but were attending an Associate Professionalism Course held at the same hotel.  This means that they should both become ASAs and ACIAs shortly.

Congratulations to all three.

Recent Hires at AON Hewitt

We had a visit from AON Hewitt earlier this week, as Troy Milnthorp (Saskatoon) and Don Ireland (Calgary) are the actuaries for the University's pension plans.  AON Hewitt have recently hired 5 new actuarial staff, 4 of them U of R grads.  The Saskatoon office hired Steven Buchan, Nimco Moumin (both 2012 grads) and Tammy Johnson (a 2008 grad) while Kadan Kelly (another 2012 grad) has started in the Calgary office.  Congratulation to all four!
