Ziggy was an actuarial science graduate. He helped our football team.

So you're saying we need more actuaries on the team?

Mems

At least ones that are 6'6', 280 and run 4.5-4.6

Indy Coug

I know plenty of actuaries that are 280, not many that are also 6'6 and run that fast though.

A great career choice if you are good at math tests.

No, do tell

Couldn't have been as good as his stories about rigged Jai Alai tournaments in Miami.

Tolley hasn't been head for a while. Reese is CPMS dean and Hartman is program director.

I was at BYU when Reese first joined the department.

Wow, no kidding. He was there when I was a student and that was awhile ago.

Hey now, this is self-deprecating humor. I own a BYU "Rise to the Equation" tshirt.

Our students are in the 90th percentile of actuarial tables?

Huh. What are the odds of that?

If the regression line fits...

I fail to reject that there is a high degree of correlation.

Sounds boring

Actuaries are people who are too boring to be accountants.
