Throughout February and Insurance Careers Month, one collegiate competition is helping inspire students to pursue insurance careers while building valuable industry knowledge and experience.

The competition, sponsored and managed by Selective Insurance Company of America, challenges teams of students from seven universities to run virtual insurance agencies and make critical business decisions that are key in the insurance industry. The participating institutions this year include Appalachian State University, Howard University, Indiana State University, Illinois State University, Middle Tennessee State University, Temple University, and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
