Travelers Institute^®: Travelers Institute University Outreach

The Travelers Institute supports the next generation of risk and insurance professionals by partnering with colleges and universities to offer a range of educational opportunities. In 2024, the Travelers Institute’s webinar series welcomed academic partners from the Risk and Uncertainty Management Center at the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business, The Katie School of Insurance and Risk Management at Illinois State University, Utah Valley University, the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, the University of Colorado Denver, and the Master’s in Financial Technology (FinTech) program at the University of Connecticut School of Business.

These activities have built on Travelers’ long history of engagement with students and the academic community. For example, Gamma Iota Sigma, an international business fraternity for students of insurance, risk management and actuarial science, is a key recruiting relationship for Travelers. Additionally, the Travelers Institute has visited dozens of universities for educational programming on distracted driving, the state of the American economy and more. In 2024, Travelers Institute leaders addressed students, faculty and community members at Central Connecticut State University and the University of Alabama. This approach to university outreach improves upon Travelers’ ability to recruit top-tier talent and furthers the company’s position as a thought leader in multiple disciplines and business areas.
