Activities and Events
Welcome CIS Friends
These events are organized to welcome companies that have committed to be CIS members. Company representatives come to our campus to deliver their donation and meet the dean, chair in CBE and the finance faculties. These events provide industry leaders with an opportunity to learn more about CBE and Finance Department. This also helps us bridge the university with the insurance industry.
Chief executives are invited from the insurance industry as the feature speakers. The guest speakers will discuss insurance careers and insurance operations in the industry and address important issues facing the industry today. The audience will consist of CBE students and faculty members. So far we have successfully held symposiums with Mercury Insurance, Pacific Life Insurance, Automobile Club of Southern California, and Financial Planning professionals.
Insurance instructor Mr. George Yen and guest speaker Mr. Richard Roth, FCAS, retired
Chief Actuary of California Department of Insurance.
These workshops are designed for the business community in Southern California. Feature speakers and discussion address important current issues in insurance by special panels. The speakers include industry leaders, regulators, and other professionals.
CIS is committed to helping CSUF traditional and nontraditional students and alumni find professional employment and assist industry recruiters in targeting ideal potential employees. There are internship pool and job pools with the student resumes. Also, job announcements received will be posted on the CIS Career Boards. The insurance career path will be placed on CIS homepage soon.
CIS receives a significant amount of scholarships from the member companies. This program helps support students who are interested in pursuing a career in the insurance industry. The scholarships available include Mercury Insurance Award, Chen-da Su Insurance Award, Pacific Life Insurance Award, Prudential Insurance Award, and Auto Club Insurance Award.
Insurance Day
The
Center for Insurance Studies (CIS) is proud to announce that
we will be co-hosting an
Insurance Day
event, with the Gamma Iota Sigma and Finance Association
student clubs.
The event will be held on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 from
10am – 7pm. This
occasion will help prepare our business students with the
tools for a bright future in the insurance industry.
CIS would like to promote the Actuarial, Risk
Management and Insurance/Financial Services programs to the
business students who have not yet decided on a career path,
as well as to update other business students on what jobs
are available to them in the industry.
At this
time, I would like to invite our industry friends to come and
participate with us for the day.
If you would like to volunteer your time as a guest
speaker at one of the day’s two symposiums, please let me know
and you will be added to the panel list. If your company would
like to purchase a table for the Insurance Day event, your HR
Representative may contact our Program Coordinator, Kathi
Wilson, at 657-278-2045 or

Since
Insurance Day will be
an all day event for students and industry participants, food
will be provided after the panel discussions for lunch and
dinner. There will
be tables set up in the courtyard for companies that would like
to participate.
There are three package options for the display tables:
