Welcome CU Boulder folks!

[DoctorNo]

If you need help with anything (contacts, study help, course advice), hopefully I can help.

Wow, tumbleweeds are blowing across this thread.

[DoctorNo]

I know - it's kinda scary. :oops:

There's more out there - I've seen PMs to that effect.

Tumbleweeds hoo!!!!!

I'll be back at CU trying to get the Actuarial Cert this summer (and fall and spring). Let's hope the scheduling works out otherwise I'll not look as awesome on paper a year from now trying to get a job....which will be nice to have.

On another note:

The Actuarial Studies Certificate Program will be hosting an open
house and panel discussion this coming Thursday, April 16, from 7-8:30
pm in Math 350. Actuaries from firms in Denver will discuss the field
of actuary science. This is an excellent opportunity to explore this
area, which forms the foundation of the insurance profession.

The panelists include:

Doug Norris from Milliman
Ryan Cox from Mercer
Jessica Steward from Watson Wyatt
James Haworth from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield

Pizza and other refreshments will be served.

For additional info on the Actuarial Studies and Quantitative Finance
Certificate Program, please see the webpage:

I'll be there!

Hey oh! CU in the house!!

So it looks like we're still dragging our feet. De-PRESSING. Though I'm not contributing too much to the forum so I really can't talk. HOWEVER, I am in Africa so that makes things a little difficult for myself. I'm actually thinking of trying to maybe take MFE while here in Namibia, though I think once I finish my service (I'm doing Peace Corps right now) next year I'll be heading to grad school somewhere in Cali.

Hope everyone is doing well! I tried to donate my study guides to the math library! They should have P, FM and MFE. Get studying my fellow buffs!

[DoctorNo]

Ah, good times - I'm looking forward to presenting at the 2012 actuarial science open house so that I can talk about how great it is to be DONE WITH EXAMS! :tup:

Oh, and Milliman has moved offices - we're now at 14th and Wewatta in Denver. First week in the new building!

Hey Buffs!

I was hoping for some contacts for Fall/Spring/Summer internship opportunities. Open to location. Some background, B.A. Math '10 with P/1, FM/2, and C/4 passed. PM me if anything pops up.

Thanks all! GOOO BUFFS!!!!

[DoctorNo]

If you've graduated (especially with three exams), we'd consider you for a permanent position but almost surely not an internship.

Send me a PM and I can get you in touch with the right folks.

[DoctorNo]

Same goes for any other Buffs - whether looking for internships or full-time positions, or fall/spring/winter/summer/whatever. Send me a PM.

Would also consider Rams/Pioneers/Roadrunners/Bears/what have you, so long as you don't mind some good-natured ribbing. ;)

What about Orediggers?

That must be covered under "what have you".

That's what happens when you load up on math classes. ;)

Oh, alright. It was always fun playing you guys in hockey, so sure. Otherdiggers can be included. :-D

We demand specific consideration and will not stand for being bucketed in the "other" category.

Actually, we're pretty indifferent. And by "we" I think it's "me" since I'm not aware of any other CSM actuaries.

With the engineering bent, I could see that - although I bet that there are a few. I wonder if you could start an actuarial club (that's how it started at CU) and then see if one of your math professors could socialize it?

If y'all ever get an organization together, I'd be able to get someone (which may be me - not sure if that makes it better or worse :D ) to talk about the profession. Although CU gets us lemon squares, pizza, and brownies. ;)

[buy-side]

I graduated from CSM more than 10 years ago and never looked back. Many others have great stories about their college days - I don't. I would never send my kid there - 20% women and a homework load that rivals MIT for a degree from an institution that most people look at you funny when you mention "Mines". Perhaps if I still lived in CO then I would be an active alumni, but it's doubtful.

It would be nice to move back to CO eventually, but the job prospects seem far and few between.

[DoctorNo]

It seems like a pretty vibrant market - I can really only speak definitively for health, a lot of insurers have decent bases here. And the consulting business is pretty exciting in Denver these days.

[DoctorNo]

Good to meet everyone at the open house last night!

Wish I could have had some lemon squares - this no-carb thing is a bit rough.
