The Actuarial Club
This organization promotes and sustains student's interest in the
actuarial professions and to provide resources and guidance in
shaping the actuaries of the future. Guest speakers attend
regularly to inform students of career opportunities and lecture on
various topics relating to the industry, certification exams,
etc. Social activities are also part of the Actuarial Club
calendar of events. These events allow members the
opportunity to network, develop lifelong friendships and share
valuable information.
A major benefit of membership includes access to information and
reimbursements for professional exams. The Actuarial Club
understands that paying for actuarial exams can pose a heavy burden
on students. To aid its members with these expenses, The
Actuarial Club has set up the Exam Fee Reimbursement Program.
Upon passing an actuarial exam, active members will be reimbursed
for the registration fee amount. For information about the
club contact sjuactuarialclub@gmail.com
