The math department gave a lot of support in me taking actuarial exams while still in college, which helped give me a great head start in my career and showed me how to study for all of the exams I would eventually take. Outside of just my primary degree, the overall liberal arts education that Butler provided exposed me to many different topics and many different people from all walks of life. This has helped me in more of the soft skills and networking side of my career, which has become even more and more important as I&#8217;ve advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-larger-font-size\" id=\"h-what-advice-would-you-give-to-current-students-to-help-them-prepare-for-their-careers-0\">What advice would you give to current students to help them prepare for their careers?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would encourage them to be as open as the can to trying completely new things and challenging themselves. Everyone talks about how college is a time to try so many things to find out who you are and what you want to do in life. That is absolutely true, but it doesn&#8217;t stop when you graduate. The first job you get will almost certainly not be your job forever, and you may discover that it might not even be in the right industry. Go try things you think you will like, try some things you aren&#8217;t sure if you will like, and keep learning about yourself and what you like to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-larger-font-size\" id=\"h-what-is-a-great-memory-you-have-from-your-time-at-butler-0\">What is a great memory you have from your time at Butler?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rushing the basketball court after Butler beat Villanova when they were one of the best teams in the country.

From the variety of classes required or recommended for my major, I walked away feeling confident about working on a variety of different projects in different coding languages or in different platforms, having a better understanding of how insurance companies as a whole work, and communicating effectively and professionally with my colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-larger-font-size\" id=\"h-what-advice-would-you-give-to-current-students-to-help-them-prepare-for-their-careers-1\">What advice would you give to current students to help them prepare for their careers?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work hard and give everything your best effort, but also don&#8217;t forget to have fun and enjoy your college experience! Indianapolis is so close to Butler and has so many things to do, explore! Passing exams in college is great, but don&#8217;t stress too much about it. At Chubb, everyone in the actuarial program is coming from a unique background with a different number of exams passed, we all get the same support from the program and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-larger-font-size\" id=\"h-what-is-a-great-memory-you-have-from-your-time-at-butler-1\">What is a great memory you have from your time at Butler?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is hard to pick just one great memory from my time at Butler. A couple from my senior year would be running the Indy Mini on the same day as graduation with one of my best friends and getting the opportunity to research and propose an idea to improve school bus safety to Indianapolis Public Schools and Indianapolis Police Department.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":385,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-681","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Statistics Program | Butler University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Join Butler&#039;s Statistics program today!
