Professional Community

We have been especially fortunate to benefit from the advice, support, and participation of the members of our Actuarial Studies Advisory Council.  Students with questions about actuarial careers are encouraged to contact any of the listed members.

Actuarial Studies Advisory Council

Members of our Actuarial Studies Advisory Council are individuals who have an active interest in supporting and advising the UT Actuarial Program; individuals who have enough influence at their organization to make requests on behalf of UT Austin, such as supporting scholarships or case competitions; interested in attending the annual advisory board meetings in person (when the meeting is offered in person); and willing to voice their opinions and help shape the future of the UT Actuarial Program.  Longhorn alumni are preferred, but this is not a requirement.  If you would like to join our Actuarial Studies Advisory Council, please contact Mark Maxwell (maxwell@utexas.edu) and Alisa Walch (ahavens@math.utexas.edu).
