Academy Engages Canadian Students & Shares Insight on Available Resources
Academy leaders attended Canada’s Actuarial Students’ National Association (ASNA) annual convention last weekend in Niagara Falls, Ontario. President Darrell Knapp, Member-Selected Director Maambo Mujala—a past ASNA convention participant—and Claire Mickelson, manager of governance and board relations, participated in ASNA career fairs and interacted with students. They also delivered presentations in English and French on what it takes to practice in the United States, becoming an Academy member, and the various free resources the Academy offers students.
“A number of Canadian students asked a lot of thoughtful questions about what steps would be needed to practice in the U.S., and I appreciated the opportunity to share information with them about that and the value of future Academy membership,” Knapp said.
