Club Events & News:

We have realized that there have been issues with our emails the past 2 weeks so for those that have had confusion about workshops and mock interviews we have a solution. If you missed either workshop or both, take this quiz, (Interview Quiz), and submit it to the club office, MA803 as soon as possible. If you do not do this you will be unable to interview. If you miss the mock interviews, email the club with some free times that you can have one during the coming week. If you have anymore questions do not hesitate to email us. Thank you and sorry for the confusion.

Mock Interviews will be held on Tuesday, September 16, in the Hicks Library. All Freshman and Sophomores who wish to interview must attend, but anyone is welcome to come brush up on your interviewing skills. Please go to the "Interview Info" page and follow the instructions to sign up on the interview scheduler. Posted below is a presentation for the company you will be interviewing with, the Purdue Actuarial Company. Also posted is a list of sample questions.

The Purdue Actuary Club is proud to present the second annual Actuarial Awareness Night held on Thursday, April 10th. This event is open to everyone, but anyone who is interested in mathematics, statistics, and business is strongly recommended to attend to hear professional actuaries from around the country speak of their experiences. Check the link to learn more about this special event.

On Wednesday, November 27th, at 6:30 PM in BRNG 1260, the HSI committee will be passing out materials for ANY club member interesting in giving a small 5-10 minute presentation about the actuarial profession to their former high school over the holiday break.

" The student-run Purdue Actuary Club is the model for how the college recruiting process should be handled.  From both an actuarial and HR perspective, we work with many colleges throughout the nation and can unequivocally state that the Purdue process is the easiest to work with and the most efficient.  Kudos to the student officers who make this happen!"

~Andy Henn, FSA, Group Pricing Director
and Helen Hong, Talent Acquisition Manager

As many of you know, all the company presentations, interviews, and some other special events are put together by the student officers of the club. The officers take extra time out of their days to keep in contact with several companies, make reservations at the companies' requests, and all the little things that make our company visits successful. Thanks to Andy, Helen, all the companies, and all the members for making the Purdue Actuary Club a success.
