Axis Re sets U of Illinois cat 'hackathon'

Axis Re will challenge University of Illinois students to come up
with new models for evaluating catastrophe risks during a
"hackathon" at the Urbana-Champaign campus this weekend
that is designed in part to attract talented young people to
insurance industry careers.
Called the "Future of Insurance", the event
"reflects our company's commitment to help engage and
develop the next generation of insurance and reinsurance
professionals", said AXIS Re's Jon Colello, president and
chief underwriting
