What does it take to manage risk at 200 mph? Students at the VCU School of Business will get an inside look when Ryan McGuiness, vice president of risk management at NASCAR, visits campus as part of the Spencer Educational Foundation’s Risk Manager on Campus Program.
McGuiness will meet with students in classrooms and student organizations on March 25 before shifting gears to Richmond Raceway on March 26 for a special behind-the-scenes event.
The event, hosted by the VCU Risk Management and Insurance Program, introduces students to career opportunities in risk management. Over breakfast in Richmond Raceway’s Victory Lane Club, McGuiness and raceway executives specializing in operations, marketing and sponsorships will walk students through the mechanics of managing insurance policies, event and driver safety and reducing financial risks for teams, venues and sponsors. A track tour will follow, offering a look at how these strategies apply to race-day operations.
Spots are limited, and students are encouraged to register early. All students regardless of major are welcome. For more information and to reserve a spot, visit here.
