When I graduated from college in 1999, the most coveted career paths for economics majors were management consulting and investment banking. Back then, I never could have predicted the explosion of diverse career opportunities we see today, nor the wide range of skills they require. A foreign language, a 3.5 GPA, and an economics degree from a respected institution no longer guarantee a top spot in the hiring pool. As many of you know, I’m a strong advocate for a liberal arts education. The freedom to explore different subjects, discover your passions, and push your boundaries is invaluable in preparing for the future. While I may be a bit biased, I truly believe Mount Holyoke College offers an exceptional environment for this type of educational journey. It's a place built on academic rigor, keen curiosity, a collaborative spirit, and rich traditions—all within a community that empowers students to shape the future. Mount Holyoke’s Lynk program is a career-focused curriculum that bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience by connecting students with funded internships and research opportunities. Lynk on the Road takes this further, allowing students to visit different companies and explore various fields and industries firsthand. This week, while I was recovering from the flu, a group of talented students from MHC visited Swiss Re. For us at Swiss Re, it’s a fantastic opportunity to share our culture, introduce our people, and give students a glimpse into the world of reinsurance. A huge thank you to all my colleagues who stepped in so graciously to host in my absence. The smiles captured in the photos are a true reflection of the Swiss Re spirit that was in full force throughout the event. If you haven’t already, consider Swiss Re as an employer of choice. And of course, take a closer look at Mount Holyoke College—a place where bold leaders and boundless learners come together to create a better world.
