Be An Actuary Day for High School Students

Do your students like math? Are you looking to expose them to more rewarding career pathways? Help them discover the meaningful, multi-faceted career as an actuary with Be An Actuary Day!

Be An Actuary Day is an interactive event designed to introduce students from a wide variety of backgrounds to the actuarial profession – a field that blends math, problem-solving, and real-world applications. Research has shown that a significant number of students with strong mathematical skills do not learn about actuarial careers until later in college, limiting their opportunities to prepare. By making them aware of this option at the high school level, we help students gain a head start toward a successful future.

What to Expect

This one-hour or 90-minute event, offered in person or virtually, is an engaging learning experience where students will:

  • Solve real-world actuarial problems through interactive group work
  • Meet practicing actuaries and college students studying Actuarial Science
  • Learn how actuaries make an impact in industries like insurance, finance, risk management, and much more
  • Be exposed to valuable resources for scholarships, college programs, and career opportunities

Program Highlights

  • “What is an Actuary?” Presentation – An information session to share the many exciting and impactful opportunities there are in the actuarial profession
  • Group Problem-Solving Activities – Exercises, including logic puzzles, risk assessment scenarios, and a math competition, led by volunteer actuaries using critical skills in the field
  • Educational Resources – Essential information on the many scholarships and other forms of support available to actuarial students

Be An Actuary Day is made possible by the support of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), Society of Actuaries (SOA), Actuarial Foundation, International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA), Network of Actuarial Women and Allies (NAWA), Organization of Latino Actuaries (OLA), Sexuality and Gender Association of Actuaries (SAGAA), and South Asian Network of Actuaries (SANA).
