The achievements of risk management and financial services
students at Glasgow Caledonian
University (GCU) have been recognised by industry.
The students picked up prizes at the Insurance and Actuarial
Society of Glasgow (IASG) industry dinner, where they gathered with
more than 600 insurance and financial services professionals.
Kathleen Kilmurray, a final-year student on the BA Risk
Management programme was named Royal Sun Alliance Risk Management
Student of the Year, while fourth-year BA Finance, Investment and
Risk student Eric Williamson was presented with the Zurich
Insurance prize for Financial Services Student of the Year. Both
companies also sponsored attendance at the event for four other GCU
students who had been shortlisted.
Dr Patrick Ring, Senior Lecturer in Financial Services, said:
"We are pleased that the calibre of our students continues to be
recognised by the industries in which they intend to carve out
careers."
The IASG is the West of Scotland arm of the Chartered
Insurance Institute, the world's largest professional body
dedicated to insurance and financial services, with over 115,000
members in more than 150 countries.
