McClain Beaudette is a 2024 University of St. Thomas graduate. He majored in Marketing Management, with an RM&I certificate. He joined the St. Thomas chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, and after networking with industry professionals, registered for the RM&I certificate, in order to pursue a career in insurance. During an internship with Farmer’s Insurance, he gained a new appreciation for the fast paced nature and opportunity for lifelong learning within the industry. His coursework continued to expose him to new facets of the insurance industry, and new connections with insurance professionals. He accepted an internship with Munich Re, following a connection made at the 2023 GIS national convention, which he received funding to attend through the Spencer Educational Grant. Following that internship, he was offered a position in their Graduate Trainee Program, which has led to a full-time role as an underwriter. “None of this would be possible though without the support that I have received from the RM&I and Actuarial faculty as they have provided industry insights and support throughout my years here. I cannot wait to see what the program becomes and the opportunity for more and more students to get into insurance.”
