Actuarial Information Session

Leave a reply

An individual who wants to become an actuary must excel at challenging courses
in mathematics, have some interest in using these skills to analyze and solve
business problems, be willing to spend many hours preparing for professional
examinations, and possess good communication skills.

If you think that you may be a good candidate for this type of career,
please let them know about an upcoming Actuarial Information Session. The
session is scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 4-5 pm and will take place in
ECJ 1.202. Feel free to share the following description with these students.

“Actuarial program director Mark Maxwell will briefly describe the actuarial
profession, the professional actuarial organizations, the actuarial
credentialing process, and the UT actuarial program/degree.

Is the profession right for you?  Characteristics of both successful and
unsuccessful students will be discussed so that you can judge for yourself.

A significant portion of time will be reserved to answer questions from those
in attendance.”

You can contact me with any questions you may have.

Thanks,

Texas College Advising Corps Positions

Leave a reply

The Texas College Advising Corps (Advise TX), is recruiting graduating UT Austin seniors to serve as full-time college advisers in high-need high schools across Texas.

Applying to college is a big task, and without proper guidance, many students simply don’t take on the challenge.  Many of them don’t believe they can succeed in college or have never considered college a possibility.  Without exposure, information, and encouragement, many students never pursue higher education at all.

College advisers are bridging this gap.  Advise TX places exceptional recent college graduates from all fields of study on high school campuses to lead low-income and first-generation students to college.  College advisers work alongside school staff to mentor, encourage, and assist students one-on-one as they search for colleges, complete admissions and financial aid applications, and transition from high school to higher education.

Please share this opportunity with recent graduates (December 2010) or graduating seniors (May 2011) from UT Austin who may be interested in serving as a college adviser for one or two years.  Advise TX is now accepting applications through the UT Austin website: http://ipsi.utexas.edu/TCAC.html

Selected advisers participate in six-weeks of summer training.  All advisers receive a salary, health benefits, and an award to pay student loans or graduate school expenses.

For more information, please contact Jennifer Pandya at jpandya@ipsi.utexas.edu or 512-232-4383.
