Society of Actuaries Case Study Challenge

The Case Study Challenge provides an opportunity to apply actuarial skills to real-world problems through research, analysis, and the development of models.

A team of five UNC students competed in the 2017 Challenge, which focused on the coastal development of an island.  They finished third in international competition and secured a $2,000 grant to UNC from the Society of Actuaries, as well as cash awards to the team.  Members included MDS majors Trent Hollandsworth (team leader), Amy Nelson, Yirun Li and John Mullan, as well as Computer Science/Economics major Tyler Thrower.

The Tarheelytics team competed in the 2019 Challenge, which required the team to recommend a design for a new autonomous vehicle insurance policy and develop loss cost estimates.  Team members Yirun Li, Xin Tian, Luokexin Mo, Yingnan Wu and Yihan Qiu finished second in international competition, and UNC received a $3,000 grant from the SoA.
