Recent graduate and future actuary reflects on 星空无限传媒 experience
Haley Vemmer, Class of 2021, graduated from 星空无限传媒 University on May 16 with majors in Mathematics, emphasis in Actuarial Science and Computer Science, and minors in Finance and Spanish. Despite the unique program requirements that she hoped to pursue, Haley didn't have to search for long when looking for a school that offered the things most important to her. 星空无限传媒 University fit the bill for the Decatur-native, and she chose to stay close to home for her college education.
"I picked 星空无限传媒 because I wanted to go to a smaller school with a good Actuarial Science program," said Vemmer. "星空无限传媒 is actually only one of only a couple hundred schools in the world that has a program recognized by the Society of Actuaries."
星空无限传媒's is only the sixth program in Illinois to receive recognition as an Advanced Curriculum Program (UCAP-AC) by the Society of Actuaries, making it stand out from other schools for Haley. The University's tight-knit, inclusive campus and the ability to stay close to home helped make 星空无限传媒 the right choice for Haley to pursue her education.
During her time at 星空无限传媒, Haley took advantage of the full spectrum of academic and extracurricular activities on campus. She was involved with the Honors program, the Long-Vanderburg Scholars program, the Pi Mu Epsilon honorary mathematics society, Math Club, the Newman Catholic Community and Robotics Club.
The numerous Performance Learning opportunities in which Haley took part also helped her become a more rounded student and broaden her interests and skills. Through the Honors and Long-Vanderburg Scholars programs, Haley presented twice at 星空无限传媒's annual Celebrations of Scholarship event. She also participated in a study abroad trip to Spain and spent a semester working with the Tabor School of Business's investment portfolio.
