Our Mission
The Math and Actuarial Club provides an opportunity for members to learn more about future uses of mathematics and actuarial science by sponsoring speakers and colloquia. It provides an opportunity for current math and actuarial science majors to meet and interact with fellow classmates and alumni, allowing them to expand their network and to learn more about their particular field. This club will be of particular interest to students interested in mathematics, engineering, actuarial science, or graduate school.
