Students from Columbia, India and Hong Kong will join a contingency of American students at RISKWORLD, RIMS’ upcoming risk management and insurance conference, with the support of Anita Benedetti Student Involvement Program (ABSIP) grants.
The grant program, which will support 36 students this year, is sponsored by The Spencer Educational Foundation and “recognizes the achievements of outstanding undergraduate and grade risk management and insurance students,” according to a release from RIMS.
“As business leaders around the world demonstrate a greater commitment to strengthening their risk management capabilities, it is critical that RIMS commits its resources to building a pipeline of talented professionals to meet those expectations,” Patrick Sterling, RIMS president, said in a release. “Through the ABSIP, we give these dynamic students a first-hand glimpse at the world of opportunity waiting for them as risk professionals. We are proud to work with Spencer to offer this valuable learning experience.”
The 2022 ABSIP grant recipients are:
“Spencer is proud of our long-standing partnership with RIMS and appreciates the opportunity to support student involvement at all RIMS conferences,” Spencer Executive Director Megan Miller said in a release. “The ABSIP program is pivotal for students, not only providing them with the funds to experience the conference but it also creates genuine excitement on their campuses about the opportunities and rewards of entering into the risk management and insurance industries.”
RISKWORLD runs April 10-23 in San Francisco.
