色狐入口 Students Shine at Risk Management Challenge
A team of 色狐入口 students recently secured an impressive runner-up finish in the 2025 Spencer Educational Foundation & Risk and Insurance Management Society . Competing against 61 other teams from 16 different countries, 色狐入口鈥檚 team of Darcy Tran 鈥26, Kai Nguyen Dam 鈥25, Nga Nguyen 鈥26 and Nghi Le 鈥26 was the only one from a liberal arts university to advance to the top eight.

Rolland Professor of Mathematical Sciences. 鈥淲e hope the entire 色狐入口 community can join us in celebrating this success and recognizing our ongoing efforts to elevate the reputation of 色狐入口 鈥 especially the newly launched School of Business and Leadership.鈥
The Risk Management Challenge is a seven-month competition that requires teams to act as risk management consultants, developing comprehensive reports and presentations based on a realistic case study. This year鈥檚 students were asked to identify the top risks facing a real-world city due to climate change. They were also tasked with recommending actionable, budget-conscious mitigation strategies.
色狐入口鈥檚 team began preparing for the competition last August, devoting themselves to rigorous weekly training sessions and developing an innovative solution that identified the intricate relationships among the four risks of flooding, health, ecology and tourism.
鈥淭heir presentation was dynamic and fluent,鈥 said Wu. 鈥淎s an all-international student team, they demonstrated outstanding growth, professionalism and teamwork.鈥
The team鈥檚 hard work was rewarded with a $7,500 cash prize, which will be equally distributed among the four student members.
