"This event is a testament to the vitality of our academic community – past, present and future – and to the strong alliance between our academic community and the financial services community," stated M. Moshe Porat, dean of The Fox School.
"Today’s luncheon pays tribute to an industry leader who is making a difference not only in the financial services community, but in the larger community as well," he continued.
The luncheon also featured several awards for student achievement including scholarships on behalf of Casualty Actuaries of the Mid-Atlantic Region, National Association of Insurance Women, ACE, CIGNA, Towers Perrin and Travelers.
The luncheon is presented by The Fox School's department of Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management and its award-winning Sigma Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma.
The Fox School's RIHM department, one of the largest of its kind in the world, offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in actuarial science, healthcare management, risk management and insurance.
U.S. News & World Report recognized its risk management program as one of the top ten undergraduate business specialty programs in risk management. In a recent study by the Journal of Risk and Insurance, the RIHM department ranked second in the nation in research productivity. Its student organization, the Sigma Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, is the premier prize-winning chapter of the international risk management and insurance fraternity, having won the prestigious Edison L. Bowers Award nine times in the last 11 years.
