Brantley Risk & Insurance BRIC by BRIC Campaign

The Richard S. Brantley Risk and Insurance Center at Appalachian State University needs your help.  Many insurance professionals have worked hard over the past 20 years to establish the Brantley Center, but now, due to the economic downturn, the financial health of the Center needs your assistance.

The Center was established in 1988 to enhance insurance studies, particularly the Risk Management and Insurance major at Appalachian State University. With approximately 120 students, our program is currently ranked as the sixth largest program in the nation by Business Insurance.

The Brantley Center does not receive state funds, and therefore relies entirely on donations in order to operate on a day-to-day basis.  Given the current state of the economy, our endowment funds are down dramatically and we need new, current contributions in order to carry forth our program activities.  These activities include:

  • Involving students with the risk management and insurance industry through career fairs, shadow days, internships, and job placement.
  • Assisting students develop resumes and interviewing skills, as well as providing students with opportunities to participate in professional designation and licensing programs.
  • Coordinating practitioner involvement in the instructional program by inviting industry leaders to participate in classes and speak to student organizations.
  • Supporting research and faculty development, and directing research activities toward problems and questions of interest to the risk management and insurance industry.
  • Assisting the industry in designing and delivering training and continuing education programs.

This is your opportunity to participate in our BRIC by BRIC fundraising campaign.  Your gift will be not only an investment in the lives of Appalachian students, but in the future of our industry.
