insurance & risk management Alumni

 
Our alumni are very important to the Insurance and Risk Management program at Indiana State. They participate in many ways by serving on our advisory council, giving of their time and talent to special IRM or College of Business events, or serving as mentors to students or young alumni in the industry. Regardless of your level of involvement, we appreciate all that you do.
