Student Testimonials

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!"

As an undecided business major, I explored various paths before discovering risk management and insurance. Knowing little about the industry, I was drawn to this welcoming program, built by a strong leader like Mr. Maguire. Looking back, I can’t imagine my SJU experience without the incredible opportunities offered through the Maguire Academy, including scholarships, professional development, mentorship, and lifelong friendships. The program not only shaped my college experience but also prepared me for a successful career. Thanks to the foundation I built at SJU, I secured a role as an Underwriting Professional Associate at AIG, where I now apply the knowledge and skills gained through the RMI program every day. I am truly grateful for the impact SJU and the Maguire Academy has had on my life."

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."
