RMI Student Paper Selected for Industry Publication

Justin Litaker, a Senior Risk Management & Insurance major at Appalachian, had his paper titled “Cyber and Reputational Risk Insurance: Past, Present and Future” selected for publication in an upcoming edition of the Wholesale Insurance News (WIN) magazine. WIN magazine is published quarterly by the American Association of Managing General Agents (AAMGA) and is distributed in 40 countries to 250,000 insurance professionals.

Dave Wood, Director of the Brantley Risk & Insurance Center and Freeman Professor of Insurance at Appalachian adds, “Justin is one of those students who keeps us professors on our toes: well informed and always asking about the current trends and latest developments. He goes above and beyond what is asked of him. We are very proud that Justin is the third consecutive Appalachian student to win this prestigious award.”

Litaker, from Charlotte, NC will graduate in May 2012. He has already earned his UACIC designation and will begin his career with the Litaker Insurance Agency in June 2012.
