Your Actuarial Buddy (YAB)

This program connects first- and second-year actuarial science students with upper-year students in the actuarial science major and specialist programs who remember that feeling of, “What on earth is actuarial science and how do I navigate this field successfully?”   

Through bi-monthly one-on-one meetings, mentors will guide mentees on relevant and timely topics such as getting started, selecting courses, major industry players, non-traditional careers, what are the actuarial exams, and more.
