Congratulations to Barney School of Business students, Girik Nagpal (President) and Sarah Gada (Diversity & Inclusion Officer) for making the Top 3 in The Future of Insurance Case Study Competition presented by the Global Insurance Symposium in partnership with Gamma Iota Sigma (GIS).
The Competition, sponsored by Deloitte, analyzes what the insurance industry will look like in 2030 and beyond. The purpose of the competition is to encourage students in Gamma Iota Sigma chapters across the United States to showcase their talents and earn the opportunity to network with peers and industry leaders at the Global Insurance Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, April 19-21, 2022. Girik and Sarah will be representing the University of Hartford by travelling to Des Moines to present their case to a live audience, competing for a rank within the top 3 chosen teams.
