Networking Events
Trivia Night
MASS’s first major event in Semester 1 brings along both sponsors and students in a casual atmosphere as they combine into teams and tackle some trivia. Trivia Night is the perfect chance for students of all year levels to network with representatives from firms in the actuarial industry. Furthermore, it is a fantastic opportunity for students to establish strong connections and meet other members. Learn more about the career, or just come along for a fun night of trivia and food in a beautiful city venue.
Corporate Cocktails
MASS’s main networking event now incorporated our unique “speed dating” element ensuring sponsors are able to engage with all our brilliant members. This opportune chance for sponsors to scout for talent, and an opportunity for MASS members to seek inspiration from their experienced peers and to learn from the best in the field. Members can mingle with representatives from major firms in the actuarial industry over canapés and drinks in a relaxed professional setting. The night features an inspirational keynote speech delivered by an experienced actuary. Members can learn more about the actuarial field, the skills needed for success, and the expectations of hiring firms.
Q&A Panel
A panel of actuaries from our sponsor firms engage in a moderated discussion about current actuarial trends. Members will be able to build upon and refine their general knowledge of the field and hear first-hand about real issues facing actuaries. After the discussion, the panel will take questions from the audience followed by networking among students and sponsors. As the actuarial field is rapidly growing, this is the perfect opportunity for students to learn more about this career pathway and gain a head start.
Women in Actuarial & Econometrics
MASS is proud to partner with Monash Business School to present the Women in Actuarial and Econometrics night. This is a corporate cocktails-style night for female students, staff, alumni and industry professionals aimed at creating a support network and fostering empowerment. Important topics regarding issues with women in the modern-day workforce and the actuarial field are discussed. This gives our female members the opportunity to engage with and learn from role models in the industry.
Poker Night
MASS’s final event of the year provides a night of poker for members and sponsors to interact in a casual setting. Members are able to apply risk management, analytical and probability skills in a different setting outside of the classroom. Professional dealers and poker equipment are provided as well as finger food and drinks. There are many prizes to be won and players of all skill levels are welcome.
