Campbell University’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Risk Management Institute at noon on Jan. 22 on the first floor of the business school in Buies Creek.

Campbell was awarded a grant — sponsored by State Sen. Jim Burgin — by the State of North Carolina to support its effort in training future leaders in assessing insurance risks and research.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene and prior storms along the coast, it’s increasingly evident that North Carolina needs more research and resiliency in the face of natural disasters.

The Risk Management Institute is led by Dr. Michelle Flynn Osborne, department chair and professor at Campbell University and former chief deputy commissioner for the N.C. Department of Insurance.

“This program is giving students hands-on opportunities, and our goal is for Campbell University to be a resource for our legislators and for the Department of Insurance,” Osborne said in a press release.

EDIT: Due to weather, the event has been rescheduled for next week, Tuesday Jan. 28.
