We have been especially fortunate to benefit from the advice, support and participation of the members of two advisory groups for actuary program.  One, the Actuarial Studies Advisory Council, provides advice for the actuarial program on all its activities.  The other, the Red McCombs Advisory Board, is composed of business school alumni interested in encouraging business students to participate in the actuarial program.  Students with questions about actuarial careers are encouraged to contact any of the listed members.
