Testimonials
"I have been able to apply the knowledge and skill sets that I obtained from interning at FAIA within my time in the insurance industry. The Risk Management and Insurance Program at FSU along with my internship experience has put me at an advantage upon entering the workforce. I have gained an even greater appreciation for this internship program upon viewing all that FAIA does from the opposite end of the spectrum. "
