The purpose and mission of the Sigma Chapter is to enhance the professionalism of students, and a good part of that development comes from networking with industry professionals. In an effort to maintain a relationship with the risk management and insurance industry as well as with the alumni of the Temple University, the Sigma chapter hosts many events each semester with the specific goal of exposing our students to the professional world. Fall 2008 Senior Career Reception 
On October 24, 2008, the Sigma Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma hosted its annual Senior Career Reception in the Great Court of Mitten Hall. There were over 100 students graduating in December 2008 or May 2009 in Risk Management and Insurance and Actuarial Science in attendance. Over 80 industry professionals and 20 alumni of the Sigma Chapter were present to represent their respective firms. In all, thirty-four companies attended the Career Reception and had the opportunity to talk to soon-to-be graduates. From these brief meetings and the Sigma Chapter Resume Book, firms derive an interview list of potential candidates whom they feel will fit their corporate culture and ultimately become full time employees of the firm. [Actuarial Science Internship Reception] 
The Sigma Chapter is proud to announce that nine of our members have received scholarships from the Insurance Scholarship Foundation of America. This foundation was established by the members of the National Association of Insurance Women in 1993, to provide scholarships to college students preparing for a career in the insurance industry, and for men and women working in the insurance industry seeking to improve their career opportunities. The college scholarships are awarded to juniors and seniors whose course study is working toward a degree in Insurance, Risk Management and Actuarial Science. The foundation rewarded 168 recipients from 38 different colleges and universities. Temple University had ten scholarships awarded in total. Of the eighteen Marsh Insurance Scholars Awarded nationwide, eight were from Temple University (one of our members was awarded two scholarships!). Christine Tan not only received a Marsh Scholars Award, but was also awarded the ISFA Award of Excellence. The Sigma Chapter received the most scholarships from the Insurance Scholarship Foundation of America than any other University in the country for the 2008 - 2009 school year.
