URMIA Board Member Visits App as GIS Speaker

Julie Groves, Director of Risk Services at Wake Forest and University Risk Management & Insurance Associatia (URMIA) Board Member, visited the Walker College of Business earlier this week to participate in the GIS club's last Speaker event of the semester. Groves presented on her role in risk management and demonstrated several scenarios that she could encounter in her role on any given day. This presentation helped students to better understand the career path of a risk manager, especially within a university setting. Groves was introduced by Omar Gonzalez, Actuarial Science major and Masters of Data Analytics candidate at Appalachian State, who was familiar with the URMIA organization from his participation in the AppRIMI internship.
