We are pleased to announce that the 8th Annual Riskies Awards are returning to a live event on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, at 5:30 pm EST, in the Trophy Room of GSU’s Center Parc Stadium. Parking available on the Plaza Courtyard.

Guy Millner, Executive Chairman/Co-Founder of AssuranceAmerica
This year, Guy Millner, co-founder of AssuranceAmerica, is the 2022 Riskies Icon Leadership Awardee. Mr. Millner established the Guy Millner Scholars program, which offers four outstanding GSU Risk Management Students $20,000 in scholarships and is the largest scholarship ever created for Risk Management and Insurance students at GSU.
Contribute to the 2022 Riskies Fund!
The 2022 Riskies Fund retains the goal of past years to provide financial support for scholarships, student group activities, exam preparation and exam fees, and other needs of the department that advance its mission.
Importantly, 2022 Riskies fund will bolster the newly established RMI Enrollment Scholarship created with donations given to the 2021 Riskies Student Support Fund. This scholarship incentivizes students to commit to Risk Management or Actuarial Science majors early by granting $2,000 per year to Pell Grant eligible students and $500 per year to non-Pell Grant eligible students in their sophomore and junior years.
