" 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!"
