Jan 22, 2015: FinRisk-UMD Career-in-Risk Event, Washington DC

We can write more about the recent January 22, 2015 Career in Risk Event, jointly organized by The Financial Risk Institute (FinRisk) and the University of Maryland (UMD) Robert H. Smith School of Business Masters of Finance Association (MFA) and the UMD Center for Financial Policy (CFP), held at the Ronald Reagan Building, Washington DC.  But perhaps pictures and some feedback comments below from panel participants and the audience would say it better.

“Thank you for giving us such a good opportunity to learn more about risk management.  The students gave a very good feedback for this event.  You are so nice and giving us so much advice on our career.”

“Thank you to you for organizing this successful event.  I enjoyed it.”

“I think it was a successful event and everyone seemed happy with the results.  I made many new friends!  Thank you for inviting me to participate.”

We received requests to organize more of such sessions, which we plan to do latter part of the year.  Please keep a look out for the next event.
