Funding Their Future Gala Recap

Our team is still awestruck by the incredible success of this year's Gala!

We had a wonderful time celebrating our 2023 honoree, Lucy Fato of AIG, and exceeding our goal of raising $1.5 million. It was a truly unforgettable evening, and we couldn't have done it without the amazing support of our board, sponsors, risk managers, RMI professors, students, alumni, and industry friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making it all possible. We are so grateful for your generosity and commitment to our mission.

Thank You!!

Spencer Mentorship Program

We express our gratitude to the Spencer Scholar Alumni who are currently participating in this year’s Mentorship Program. In order to ensure successful mentorship pairings, we have released both a volunteer survey and a preferences survey for the 2023 class of Spencer Scholars. We have received valuable feedback from the 2023 cohort, which has been instrumental in enabling us to foster significant connections between current students and alumni.

We would like to extend an invitation to all Spencer Scholar Alumni to join the Spencer Scholar group on LinkedIn. Those interested in becoming a mentor may contact our External Engagement Director, Tandeka Nomvete, to learn more about this opportunity. Thank you for your continued support and dedication in helping us achieve our goals.
