Spencer’s Risk Manager on Campus (RMOC) program offers grants of up to $4,000 to universities and colleges in the United States and Canada to host a practicing risk manager on its campus for a 1-3 day residency. The Risk Manger on Campus program (previously named Risk Manager in Residence) was rebranded in 2020 to allow for greater connectivity between local RIMS chapters and nearby universities and to help students connect with risk managers in their immediate area. The RMOC program has been praised by both risk managers and universities as a rewarding educational experience and a chance to give back to the profession.

“Hands on learning through programs like Spencer’s Risk Manager on Campus is a crucial component in introducing students to the career possibilities available to them in risk management,” said Robin Roeder, Spencer Board Chair and SVP, Risk Management at Sedgwick. “As a risk management professional, I know how important it is to continue growing the talent pipeline for the future and this is a key way to do so.”

Along with Risk Manager on Campus grants, Spencer also provides other grants aimed at developing and advancing our industry’s future leaders. Past grants include development of advanced courses in InsurTech, Enterprise Risk Management, Cyber Risk, and Data Analytics; student attendance at industry conferences and symposia; and a variety of other unique proposals. Spencer’s goal to help broaden the talent pipeline of risk and insurance professionals is achieved in part by our collaboration with risk and insurance leaders across the United States and Canada.
