CAS Virtual Case Competition

Have you had limited exposure to property and casualty actuarial topics and never competed in a case competition before? Sign up to participate in the Virtual CAS Case Competition exclusively for university students! By participating in this event students will: 

  • Gain practical actuarial experience  
  • Hone their analytical, leadership, and presentation skills 
  • Cultivate teamwork and camaraderie 
  • Obtain relevant experience to highlight on your resume and during interviews  
  • Compete for cash prizes for winners and runners-up

The event would be held over the span of two weeks, with a kickoff session to introduce the case to the teams, followed by two weeks for students to collaborate on their solution on their own time (with access to office hours and mentorship from a CAS actuary), and concluding with a presentation day where the teams’ submissions will be judged and prizes awarded.

The topic will focus on pricing a homeowner’s warranty. Students will be assigned to teams to ensure balance in experience levels. Below please find the tentative timeline for the event: 

  • Deadline Sign-Up: January 29, 2024 
  • Team Formation and Introductions: February 5, 2024 
  • Case Competition Kick-Off: February 9, 2024 
  • Case Competition Town Hall: February 16, 2024 
  • Case Competition Presentations: February 23, 2024 

Eligibility 

We encourage university students who attend an actuarial program but have had limited exposure to property and casualty topics, limited access to actuarial internships and have not participated in a case competition before to participate. This event is also well suited for university students at schools without actuarial programs, as well as those who recently learned about the actuarial career

CAS and SOA Exploring Adjustments to Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program

The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and Society of Actuaries (SOA) are working together to explore modifications to their jointly-sponsored Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program. A revised program is expected to be announced in 2024 as soon as the review can be completed; in the interim, the current program has been sunset. The Needs-Based Exam Reimbursement Program will remain available to actuarial candidates who demonstrate financial need.

Candidates who sat for CAS or SOA credentialing requirements through December 31, 2023, will still be eligible to apply for a reimbursement through the Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program, with applications due by March 31, 2024

The CAS and SOA remain jointly committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the actuarial profession. The two organizations are considering statistics on the Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program’s usage, existing barriers to entry into the actuarial profession, and the current legal environment to determine a revised program that can best facilitate this enhancement.
