Moving Into Leadership as a Liberal Arts Student



Friday, January 29

2:30-3:30 p.m.

IMU Sassafras Room

Michael McRaith, IU Distinguished Alum with a BA in Psychology and English, will discuss his career path and the idea that career/life are inseparable and inform each other. He will also speak about the issues that may arise in the corporate workplace for LGBT individuals.
RSVP Here.

Bio

Michael T. McRaith was appointed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to serve as the inaugural director of the Federal Insurance Office (FIO), an office created by the Dodd-Frank Act, in 2011. In his role, McRaith and his team monitor all aspects of the insurance industry in order to ensure affordable, dependable insurance options are available and safe guards are in place to avoid an economic or industrial collapse.

Under his leadership, FIO:

·         Enacted policies which require insurance companies to have ‘living wills’ or resolution plans in case companies experience a financial collapse. The purpose of this policy is to “substantially mitigate the risk that the failure of a company would have serious adverse effects on the financial stability of the US economy.”

·         Challenged auto insurance companies to provide driving discounts to all couples, regardless of their marital status

·         Collaborates with law enforcement communities, state agencies, and others to develop a cyber-security strategy for the insurance industry

·         Provides insurance expertise as a non-voting member of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council), and has authority to recommend oversight of an insurer or its affiliates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

·         Coordinates federal efforts and works to develop policy on standardizing insurance both here in the US and abroad – working closely with other federal agencies, international organizations and state regulators
 
McRaith spent 15 years working in Chicago as a commercial litigation attorney before being appointed as the Director of Insurance for the State of Illinois in 2005. During his time as director, McRaith was known to be a compassionate, knowledgeable leader who worked with colleagues to build bi-partisan support for initiatives that protected Illinois consumers while creating economically viable situations for companies.  

Throughout his career as a public servant, both at the state and federal level, McRaith has enacted and implemented social reforms that champion equality and remove prejudicial barriers from the insurance industry. An Evanston, Ill. native, McRaith earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and English from Indiana University in 1986.

HOPE Mentoring Opportunity Available


HOPE Mentoring is looking for qualified IU students who are passionate about making a difference in young peoples’ lives. The current recidivism rate for youth in Indiana is around 31% in largely because of an absence of support and services for youth as they return to their communities after incarceration. Our aim is to lower recidivism rates and empower juveniles by giving them the skills they need to obtain employment and stay out of the correctional system.  Mentoring is a proven method to reduce juvenile crime rates and reduce reoffending. HOPE mentors will work with their mentee on resume building, interview skills, and any professional or educational goals that their mentee might have beginning in the correctional facility and following them out into their communities upon release. Mentors will receive training from qualified professionals to ensure volunteer readiness during this spring, and serve as mentors during the 2016-2017 school year. If interested, please contact sdswank@umail.iu.edu, or visit the website hopementoring.com for more information.

The University of Michigan Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) offers outstanding undergraduates underrepresented in their field of study the opportunity to conduct intensive research. The goal is to prepare students for graduate studies at U-M.

SROP Participants work with faculty mentors either on an individual basis or as part of a research team. In addition, all participants engage in a series of academic, professional, and personal development seminars, and culminate their experience by presenting their work at a research symposium. SROP helps build strong professional and personal networks that facilitate the transition to the graduate community.

The application for the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) at the University of Michigan is now available! For more information about the program’s requirements, benefits and online application, please visit our site: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/srop
