SGI Visit to U of R

It's been a while since my last post, for which I offer my apologies.

This Wednesday there will be an info session by UofR alumni and FCAS
Simon Mellor and Robert Osicki.

Details as follows.


We will be having visitors from SGI this Wednesday November 27, 2013 at 3.30 pm in the math lounge CW 307.20 who will come out and give a brief overview of SGI, the type of work they do in the actuarial department and some advice on finding work.
They will give you some concrete examples from an employer perspective about the interesting challenges and opportunities that exist for SGI and the Property and Casualty industry as a whole.

You are all welcome and encouraged to attend, especially the third and Fourth year Actuarial Science students. More information is available on the website: http://www.uregina.ca/science/mathstat/events/2013/11/sgi-visit-27nov2013.html

Actuarial Interns Information Session


I should have mentioned this is earlier.  There is an info session about Actuarial Internships Tuesday at 1:15 in the Math lounge CW307.  This is mainly for our 3rd year students who are interested in the internship for the period May 2014-August 2015.  

However, it will be of interest to students interested in the ActSci program.
