⭐️ Noah Oachs (BBA ‘25) @noahoachs
“Being a part of this year’s Risk Challenge team has been one of the most rewarding and valuable experiences I have had in college. The skills and lessons I have learned while competing will be things I carry with me throughout my career. Working with such a great team was amazing, and I learned a lot from Grace, Josh, and Hattie throughout the process. The incredible support we received from our fellow students, faculty, and the department was outstanding and speaks volumes about the strength of the top RMI program in the country.”
⭐️ Grace Dai (BBA ‘25) @grace_dai0603
“This challenge gave us an opportunity to apply our course content to a real-world problem while learning research, analysis, and presentation skills.”
⭐️ Hatatu Killeen (BBA ‘26) @hattiekilleen
“The Risk challenge was undeniably the most valuable experience I have had/will have academically in college, and I am incredibly grateful to have been selected as a member of this phenomenal team. Being able to apply the skills I’ve learned through our academic curriculum on real-world risks has taught me so much, but also being able to learn from Noah, Josh, and Grace has taught me infinite hard and soft skills I’m certain I will use for the rest of my career. All of this could not have been done without Carl Barlett bringing us together and the other professors of our outstanding program helping us with any challenges we faced. Their guidance and mentorship have been invaluable.”
⭐️ Josh Schaefer (BBA ‘25) @joshschaefer48
“Never have I worked with a team of this caliber - every step of the process was incredibly fun and an unbelievable learning experience.”
Your ability to think strategically and communicate clearly is a testament to the strength of the Risk Management & Insurance program here at #WSB 🦡
