How has being a Mathematics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Undergrad courses directly helped me pass 3 of the earlier actuarial exams (Calculus, Prob & Stats, Linear Programming)."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Mathematics programs?

"Ask around about careers. I was planning to become a teacher before learning about actuarial, which i learned of from a flier on a Math Dept. bulletin board."
