⚡ We started on Monday by highlighting three of the 2023 Trust Scholarship recipients, celebrating their outstanding achievements, and kept the fun going through our CAS Student Conference on Tuesday.

⚡ As part of the CAS Student Central Summer Scholars Program, two of our participants were able to travel to the CAS Annual Meeting and Student Conference under the Scholars Program Travel Scholarship! Check out some of their pictures from the Diverse & Global Community reception.

⚡ With over 20+ students in attendance at the Student Conference, students had the opportunity to network with professional actuaries, learn about the CAS and P&C industry, and engage in Quick Byte sessions about email security, cloud computing, and continuous data storytelling.

We hope all attendees had a great time at the CAS Annual Meeting and Student Conference! Stay tuned to learn more about our 2023 Trust Scholarship recipients in the next few weeks.
