AM Best’s 2025 Student Challenge, which gives
undergraduate and graduate-level students the opportunity to
develop and showcase innovative solutions for risk management and
insurance, has begun accepting submissions from university
students.
The Student Challenge aims to empower students to generate
innovative ideas in many areas of risk management and insurance,
including artificial intelligence, technology, products,
distribution methods, customer experience, marketing and social
media, captive insurance and more.
Students can register online at www.ambest.com/studentchallenge
and get started with question prompts found in AM Best’s Student
Challenge Handbook.
The Student Challenge enables students to gain first-hand
experience in insurance and risk management, said Lee McDonald,
Senior Vice President, AM Best - Information Services.
“It serves as a catalyst for students to get in touch with risk
management faculty at their schools, build teams with classmates
and develop real-world ideas—while also getting feedback from AM
Best experts based on an innovation rubric, gaining recognition for
their efforts and expanding their resumes with an
insurance-specific project.”
McDonald added: “Our company’s founder, Alfred M. Best,
emphasized the importance of ‘the ingenuity with which at all times
the new needs of the public have been met.’ That’s the essence of
the history of insurance: Using innovation to serve needs as the
world changes.
“At AM Best, we are proud to challenge the rising generation of
insurance professionals to apply their own ingenuity and take a
leadership role in the insurance industry of the future.”
After an initial review round, the field in the Student
Challenge will be narrowed to three finalists, each of whom will
receive:
- An interview with AM Best TV, an insurance industry media
network;
- A feature article in Best’s Review® magazine, a leading
insurance trade publication;
- Recognition on AM Best social media channels;
- Access to an AM Best professional to provide feedback on the
development of their solution; and
- An academic medal and trophy.
The winner will be announced in the spring of 2025. Submissions
will be judged on degree of innovation, feasibility, impact,
implementation and more.
