“The Spencer Virtual Campus has played a significant role in my growth in the insurance industry as a student. The live sessions and supportive community have enabled me to engage with RMI experts and improve my professional skills. Additionally, the Foundation has sparked a passion in me for a field I had not previously considered. I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to continue my journey in this dynamic industry!”

— Chiragdeep Malhotra, Student, York University (Canada)

“I used to see insurance as just a subject I was studying at university, without truly understanding its importance. It was like a veil was blocking my view of its full potential until I discovered the Spencer Educational Foundation. By regularly attending Spencer’s Virtual Campus sessions, I learned a lot more about the industry, gained valuable knowledge, and even enhanced my CV. Spencer helped me realize how diverse and interesting the field of risk management & insurance really is. The sessions also showed me how the concepts I study at school are applied in real-world business situations. Additionally, the opportunity to connect with peers and industry professionals through these sessions has been amazing—something I never thought I would have access to. I’m grateful to be part of this community that encourages growth and provides real opportunities for success. I look forward to learning even more in the future!”
