Applied Learning Creates Real Results

Applied learning projects give our students an opportunity to apply knowledge obtained in the classroom in a real world setting. Numerous courses require projects associated with actual    firms experiencing risk management needs. The most notable example is the risk management seminar in which teams of students undertake consulting projects. Recent examples include:

• Evaluating overall risks for a large assisted-living facility, providing advice regarding its insurance coverage, loss control techniques and other important risk management endeavors
• Working with American Family Insurance Company's risk manager to evaluate the insurer's risk-management processes
• Conducting a risk-management audit for Land's End, including analyzing and efficiently reducing risks associated with exposure to loss from e-commerce, including possible negative implications for the organization's reputation
• Completing a comprehensive risk management and employee benefits audit for the East Madison Community Center, resulting in program improvements and insurance cost savings
• Evaluating the UW-Madison student health insurance program and recommending improvements and modifications.
