The Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Clemson University Actuarial Club (CUAC) hosted the Fourth Annual Actuarial/Financial Math Expo on Monday, September 25th. The Expo was originally a miniature career fair for students majoring in math sciences who want to be actuaries, but the Expo was expanded this year to include companies that hire math majors to do financial work. Representatives from twelve companies attended: Aetna, Aflac, Aon Hewitt, AXA, Blackstream, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Carmax, Colonial Life, The Lincoln Financial Group, Oliver Wyman, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Willis Towers Watson.
At the Expo, it was announced that The Lincoln Financial Group will make a contribution of $2500 to the CUAC to reimburse students who pass actuarial exams during the 2017–2018 academic year. This is a tangible way the Department of Mathematical Sciences can support students who want to pursue careers as actuaries.
