			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The CPCU Society Annual Meeting Student Program provides opportunities for risk management, insurance and actuarial science juniors, seniors and graduate students to experience first hand the benefits of attending the Society’s prestigious yearly conclave. The 2012 CPCU Annual Meeting will take place in Washington, DC in September 8 -11 and the <a href="http://bermuda.cpcusociety.org/">Bermuda CPCU Chapter </a>have <strong>one guaranteed spot for a Bermudian student</strong>.  </p>
<p>There is a limit of 24 students for the 2012 Program, with a maximum of two from any one school. To ensure that deserving students are afforded this opportunity, the Society is requesting that faculty identify and recommend student participant(s) from among juniors, seniors or graduate students in risk management, insurance or actuarial science who they feel best exemplify the mission of the CPCU Society Student Program. <a href="http://www.cpcusociety.org/page/182732/index.v3page;jsessionid=5qcejmvn3zgr">More info&#8230;</a></p>
<p>Under the program, Annual Meeting registration fees are waived for students selected for it, and their additional expenses are subsidized through the generosity of participating Society chapters. The students are able to attend any of the dozens of educational seminars offered at the Annual Meeting, and are equally welcomed at its general sessions and receptions. Taken together, the experience offers the students invaluable exposure to cutting edge property/casualty insurance continuing education, leadership training and career management guidance. It also provides tremendous networking opportunities. </p>
