Student Testimonials:

  • Erin Studdert

    Class of 2023 (Former Club Vice President), Actuarial Science, Long Island, NY

  • Craig Feaster

  • Jonah Wyzomirski

    Class of 2021, Actuarial Mathematics, Pittsburgh, PA

"Coming into my freshman year, I didn't know much about actuarial science aside from the fact that it requires a lot of math and has many tests. From the start, the Actuarial Science Club has served as an amazing resource where I can learn more about my future profession and meet people going through the same things as I am. My favorite part of the club is the mentor program because it has made starting my actuarial journey less intimidating. From scheduling advice to mock interviews, my mentor is continually helping me grow and preparing me for the future." "The Actuarial Science club does an excellent job of providing resources to undergraduate students pursuing Actuarial Science. The specific resources that I found to be the most helpful are the resume books and the career fair which were essential in me securing an internship with Highmark Health this summer. The club is also a great way to get to know other students in the program, many of whom are now good friends!" "The Actuarial Science Club removes all obstacles to make finding a job as straight forward as possible. From the resume book to the vast number of company info sessions to the career fair itself, the club provides services that make the whole process practically stress free."

    Class of 2021, Actuarial Science, Botswana

"Beginning the first week of my freshman year, the Actuarial Science Club gave me all the necessary knowledge and resources to succeed in the Career Fair and in classes. I had very little idea of what classes to take, how to prepare for an actuarial exam, how to interview for job positions... the Club's many events and board members were indispensable to the start of my college career. My mentor, who I met through the Club, taught me a lot about the actuarial profession and gave me great advice to land my first internship." "The Actuarial Science club is a great social platform for students. I met many excellent people who are willing to share their experience with me. Meeting other future actuaries and listen to their stories really motivate me to strive for my personal growth." "Joining the Actuarial Science Club is the best decision I have made thus far. I’ve learned to communicate effectively, with rigor and precision. And best of all, I’m part of a community of insightful and interesting people."
  • Roshan Shah

    Class of 2024, Actuarial Science, Bucks County, PA

"Coming in as a commonwealth campus student, I didn't know much about the Actuarial Science program and wasn't sure how to get involved. So, I reached out to the executive board, and they were a great inspiration, immediately putting me on the right track. The club from that point till now has served as an invaluable resource where I can develop both technically and professionally. During my freshman year, I got involved with the mentorship program, which allowed me to learn how to ace the career fair, study for exams, and inspire me to start the alumni mentorship program. I also got involved with the executive board, which has been one of my most rewarding experiences in college, allowing me to grow, transform the club, and develop friendships with others who have similar interests. I continue to be involved with the executive board and it has been pivotal to me landing a job in consulting."

"Prudential continues to source top talent from Penn State year after year due to a strong partnership and proven success of recruiting from the Actuarial Science Club. We have become a top sponsor because we recognize the value of investing in the students at Penn State to further develop our pipeline of actuaries. I am always impressed with the Actuarial Science Club's ability to supplement actuarial class lessons with trainings and additional resources so that students can become the best candidates for the actuarial career path." "During my time in the Actuarial Science program at Penn State, I saw on a daily basis the motivation, varied skills, and overall acumen that PSU students have to offer. As a recruiter for Aetna, I could not be more excited at the prospect of working alongside such exceptional students and leaders. I encourage all students to take full advantage of the opportunities provided through the Actuarial Science program, from technical development trainings to resume reviews to case competitions to company-sponsored events (especially Aetna’s!), and I can say firsthand that all these elements are fantastic preparation for an actuarial career." “Erie Insurance recruits top talent from several Actuarial Science programs. We find intelligent, motivated, and hard-working individuals across the region. Why become a top sponsor at Penn State? Why invest in THIS program? Because Penn State students embody an unmatched sense of community and philanthropic spirit. Penn State students have been an excellent match in our organization because working at ERIE, even as an intern, means more than a paycheck; it means joining the ERIE family.”
