BCIT does it again! Finalist in the Spencer Risk Management Challenge

BURNABY, BC, April 6, 2018 /insPRESS/ – Students of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) General Insurance and Risk Management program were the first post-secondary Canadian team to make it to the finals of the Spencer Risk Management Challenge last year, and BCIT is pleased to announce we have made the finals again this year!

The team of Makayla Robertson, Anthony Nguyen, Annie Nim and Bianca Neves will be traveling to San Antonio, Texas in April to attend the Risk Management Conference and compete against international teams in the Spencer Risk Management Challenge.

The BCIT team was one of 8 teams from 28 international competitors to ‘take it to the next level’ and compete in San Antonio.

“We would like to thank the Spencer Foundation and the Risk and Insurance Management Society for making this possible,” said Shaun Sinclair, Program Head, General Insurance and Risk Management, British Columbia Institute of Technology. “My personal congratulations to the students who worked very hard to make this happen. I know there were many late nights spent working on this project while keeping up with the intense amount so school work our program requires.
