Spotlight on LASS

Open-access content Monday 23rd May 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

Spotlight on LASS

Leicester Actuarial Science Society (LASS) has recently launched a professional members' section, building on the success of the student society formed in 2014. If you are a IFoA member based in or around Leicester, Nottingham, Peterborough or Coventry, then this is your local regional society and we offer you a warm welcome to any of our events.

Professional skills CPD
If you need a CPD event in order to meet the requirements of the IFoA's Stage 3 Professional Skills Training prior to 30 June, this is it, and is suitable for actuaries working in any area.
Date: Tuesday 28 June 2016
Time: 17:15-19:30
Venue: University of Leicester 
Topic: Professional skills for experienced members
Trainers: Leena Sodha FIA and Nick Foster FIA
CPD: Two hours

Actuarial steering board
We will also be running an actuarial steering board meeting earlier that day at the university, for local actuarial employers who might be interested in taking on placement students. Many employers find that this can be a cost-effective way of meeting a short-term resource need, as well as removing much of the risk from their actuarial student recruitment process. The steering board is being set up for employers to have a more direct influence on how the programme is run.

Resources for projects
Are you looking for extra resources for a specific project or task? The MSc Actuarial Science and BSc Mathematics and Actuarial Science attracts students with highly developed computer and modelling skills, who are working through CT1-8 as part of their studies. If there are opportunities available, please contact Nick Foster FIA at [email protected]

New student committee
Our annual student committee election has just taken place. I can now announce that our new student committee is: Priscilla Denteh (president), Pippa Hyde (vice-president), Bilkis Begum (secretary) and Yaowei Bo (treasurer).
