She also achieved the difficult goal of passing five national actuarial exams required for certification by the Society of Actuaries. That determination led to landing a full-time job before graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Ru began an internship at Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) just after her freshman year and became a fulltime employee as the senior actuarial assistant in global valuation at RGA in January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Along with her academic and career success, Ru also achieved a personal goal when she tossed her name into the hat to become an officer of the Actuarial Science Club. Ru had wanted to become more involved with the club for some time but was too shy to join right away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blockquote\">Coming to ˿����ƵAPPand starting college was definitely new for me, but the transition overall was very smooth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not the person who likes to speak in front of a lot of people or present myself and ask for votes, but I managed it and was elected as a graduate advisor,\u201d says Ru. <\/p>\n<p>Serving as an officer of the club helped her improve her communication skills and gave her more confidence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad that I made that decision and finally became brave enough to do it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the first time Ru made an adjustment. Ru came to St. Louis from China when she was 15 years old. She graduated from high school and then powered her way through Maryville. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing to ˿����ƵAPPand starting college was definitely new for me, but the transition overall was very smooth,\u201d says Ru. \u201c˿����ƵAPPhas great first-year support for student life and academics, so I wasn\u2019t having any trouble with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ru views her job at RGA as a lifelong learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very happy when I was given the offer after the interview,\u201d says Ru. \u201cI feel that everything has paid off, and I need to work harder and learn more.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yi Ru, &#8217;18: Masters in Actuarial Science In just four years, Yi Ru attained her bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s in actuarial science.
