Join representatives from Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield's actuarial department, including Clara Siegel ('09 Mathematics), as they discuss an excellent career option for students with experience in mathematics, statistics, economics, and related fields.

Presenters will discuss their job duties, pros and cons of the profession, how they got started, the significance of actuarial exams,
and the summer internship program. Much of the time will also be allocated to questions and discussion.

An actuary is a business professional who analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics and
financial theory to study uncertain future events, especially those of concern to insurance and pension programs. They evaluate the
likelihood of those events, design creative ways to reduce the likelihood and decrease the impact of adverse events that actually do
occur.

Actuaries are an important part of the management team of the companies that employ them. Their work requires a combination of
strong analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior to design and manage programs that control risk.
