Hello and welcome to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Actuary Club! We are a diverse organization with a membership base primarily comprised of actuarial students and recent graduates; however, we welcome people of any major, college, or university in the area. Our club’s mission is to help shape a foundation for success for our students.

We host meetings and information sessions throughout the year with thought leaders in the industry. We plan them carefully with the hope that they will provide great learning and networking opportunities for our members. In addition, we sponsor an internship and career fair every fall where actuarial students across the state gather to meet and network with companies and their representatives. This year, we will hold career workshops to help members develop their professional skills. Topics will include resume and cover letter writing, effective networking techniques, and interview preparation.

Please feel free to email us if you are a student looking to become a member or a company looking to become involved, we would love to have you! You can learn more about the Actuary Club during our meetings. Meetings are on Thursdays from 5:30-7 PM, and we always have free food! The locations will be posted and emailed to members. During the spring semester, meetings are not held every week.

The best way to find out about meetings is via joining the mailing list.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Mission
The mission of Operation Smile at the University of Minnesota is to support global efforts to provide life-changing cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to children in under-resourced regions lacking access to safe and affordable surgical care. As a chapter of the international nonprofit Operation Smile—an organization delivering medical care and education in more than 40 countries—we contribute to closing the global healthcare gap through fundraising, education, and advocacy. By hosting a chapter at UMN, our student body is better equipped to make a meaningful impact through volunteering, fundraising, and awareness efforts. Our chapter at UMN strives to empower students to take action, build community, and raise support. At UMN, we organize numerous events such as kickball tournaments, bingo nights, tie blanket making, and card writing for surgery recipients, fostering a light-hearted, inclusive environment where all are welcome. We collaborate with other campus groups that share interests in healthcare, medical relief, and philanthropy, offering opportunities for students to gain insights into global surgical disparities and oral health. By joining our mailing list at opsmile@umn.edu and following our page, students can get involved in events, contribute new ideas, take on leadership roles, and work to create global change and have fun doing it!

READ@UMN is a club aiming to promote reading habit, helping people with disabilities, enjoying literature, and venting academic stress. The core activities include audiobook recording, which will be done online, at our website recording.readaudiobooks.org, and volunteer recruiting. We will also organize offline events, including themed literature discussion (book seminars), role-playing recording with multiple recorders, and other fun activities. We will also hold reading sessions, through short stories and discussions, participants can adjust their emotions, feeling connected, and become more comfortable mentally. Group members can gain literary experiences, improve their writing and speaking, release their academic stress, and even get familiar with tech skills by helping with the website or processing the audios. In addition, members will enjoy opportunities of volunteering and formal socialization, as we will connect and cooperate with multiple institutes to distribute our audio works. In general, we believe that the power of reading is bilateral. We connect with people, contribute to social equity, and get relieved and become appreciative ourselves.
