Attendees of the RIMS’ Riskworld annual conference in Chicago will have an opportunity to meet a cohort of aspiring risk management professionals, who are participating in a global university competition.
Teams from eight colleges around the world will compete in the Spencer-RIMS Student Risk Management Challenge that asks college students to form a risk management report based on a case study. The competition is put on by the Spencer Educational Foundation, a nonprofit that provides grants to students interested in pursuing a career in risk management.
The seven-month-long competition culminates at RIMS, where the top eight teams will present in a preliminary round on May 4.
