Inside Look

This year nine of EKU’s Risk Management and Insurance students took a four day trip to Dallas, Texas to learn the ins and outs of the insurance business.

This conference was open to any RMI student who is a member of the insurance fraternity, Gamma Iota Sigma. Nine students, all RMI majors, attended along with program coordinator Debbie Ellis:

I graduated in December 2016, was hired as a Claims Representative in January 2017, and made the move to Denver, Colo. Through the seven months of claims adjusting and working from home, I became unhappy with working from home, and began to view claims adjusting as a job and not a career. I knew it was time to look for a change.

Donning black and gold sashes to signify affiliation with Gamma Iota Sigma, graduation candidates for EKU's Risk Management and Insurance program walked the stage for spring commencement. Ceremonies for the College of Business and Technology were held Friday, May 12th, in Alumni Coliseum on the EKU Campus.

Thousands of students will say farewell to Eastern Kentucky University in May. They will cross the commencement stage, receive their diplomas and throw their caps into the air as they celebrate another milestone.
