President’s Welcome

Zach Bushby

President 2023/2024

Hi! My name is Zach Bushby, and it gives me great honour to serve as MASS president in 2024. After serving within the subcommittee in 2023 I am looking forward to the challenge of stepping up into the role of president.

In 2021, my first experience at a MASS event is still clear in my mind. I was a first-year student, feeling shy and unsure about how to interact with sponsors and older students. Luckily, I sat next to that year’s VP, Harry Evans. He welcomed me warmly and took the time to explain what an actuary does, how exemptions work and introduced me to other actuarial students. Next year, I see us fostering the same warmth and community I received in my first year up until now.

At MASS, our mission is to foster a diverse and inclusive community for all Actuarial students. A key focus of everyone involved in the club is providing members with opportunities and experiences that are not taught in a lecture theatre. Whether it is making friends at our games nights, hearing industry insights from a firm representative at corporate cocktails or learning more about the academic pathways through our information sessions, MASS seeks to provide members with an enriching experience throughout their time in university.

As we step into 2024, I am enthusiastic about collaborating with the new committee, confident that together, we will propel MASS to greater heights of success and achievement.
