International travel news
It's been a busy travel month for international risk manager Shaun M. Jamieson. In early October, Shaun traveled to Berlin, Germany as a recipient of a Fulbright International Education Adminstrators (IEA) award. During his stay, Shaun networked with other U.S. and international education professionals and learned about the country's higher education system. He also had the opportunity to visit sites such as the German parliament building and Brandenburg Gate.

Spotlight on: Kellie Smith
Kellie joined our team on September 12 as insurance and risk analyst. She has a bachelor of arts in urban studies with a minor in geography from York University in Toronto, Ontario.
My role:
I oversee the university’s insurance policies across campus (including off-campus properties in Montana, Uganda, and Guam to name a few).
I work with our insurance broker to help departments protect their highly valuable assets like computers and electronics, machinery, vehicles and artwork. I review university contracts and agreements for compliance with university insurance requirements. My goal is to make sure faculty and staff fully understand their insurance options and know their questions are always welcome.
What I like best about working for Risk Management and ISU:
I am relatively new to the university but in my short time here I have been able to appreciate ORM’s supportive and inclusive work environment. I feel valued as a team member and really enjoy my job and the people I work with!

son Colton
I love being able to collaborate with many different departments across campus - I get a little glimpse into what they do, it keeps me learning, and every day is a little different.
Fun facts about me:
- I have watched the full series of Gilmore Girls, The Sopranos, and The League more times than I can count. I also know every one-liner from the movie Superbad.
- I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada (Go Leafs Go!).
