The Building Insurance Talent (BIT) cohort is a group of 10 diverse students from various backgrounds and majors who come together to explore opportunities in the insurance sector. Last week, the cohort traveled to New York City to visit several leading insurance organizations, accompanied by Dillon and Wendy from the Brantley Center.
On Thursday, the group visited three NYC-based companies: Acrisure Re, Travelers, and Munich Re. Each organization warmly welcomed the students and hosted insightful panel discussions featuring professionals who shared their career journeys and highlighted the wide range of opportunities within the industry. These conversations helped students better understand how their unique skills and interests could align with careers in insurance.
We are deeply grateful to our generous hosts in New York for their hospitality and time. Special thanks to Susanne, Nancy, and Stanley for facilitating our visit—we truly appreciate your support.
Beyond professional development, students also had the chance to experience the city, exploring Times Square, Chinatown, and even attending a Broadway show. Thank you to all of the Brantley Center supporters who helped make this unforgettable experience possible!
