My experience in St. Joe's RMI program gave me the knowledge, skills and credibility to be able to land a job where I am the first college hire in a highly specialized Nuclear Energy Insurance Company. In just the first month at my new job, I quickly realized how complex the organization and the products are, but as overwhelming as it was, I also felt incredibly prepared. The Saint Joes RMI program gave me so much knowledge that I am able to keep up with seasoned underwriters and I have no doubt that the skills I have learned will only work to propel my growth in the future!"
The co-op program was a major factor in my decision to attend SJU. Because co-ops last four to six months, I knew that the experience would give me an advantage over other applicants when applying for jobs after graduation. With the exposure and skill set gained through the program, I earned my producer’s license before her senior year and accepted a competitive post-graduate position as an associate broker in the Philadelphia office of Aon, a multinational insurance corporation.
The RMI curriculum has provided me with exceptional technical skills through rigorous practical application. The industry-focused curriculum has allowed me to present case studies to industry executives both in the United States and internationally, allowing me to develop confidence and presentation skills. I have also been able to experience firsthand the operations of the Bermudan reinsurance market and attend countless industry conferences. I graduated from the program with an extensive global network of insurance professionals, including the leaders of the insurance industry's largest organizations. As I begin my career as an Actuarial Associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers, I feel that the RMI curriculum has strongly prepared me to handle the pace and demands of consulting."
