Since its inception in 1979, the New York Life Foundation--the primary vehicle through which New York Life Insurance Company (NYL) supports charitable causes--has contributed over $40 million towards making positive differences in the lives of millions of people around the world. NYL is strongly committed to ensuring the success of future generations by funding programs and institutions that help young people realize their intellectual, professional, and personal potentials. To that end, NYL Foundation contributed $250,000 toward the endowment of the New York Life Professorship of Insurance in the Department of Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) at Georgia State University. This marks another milestone in the four decade relationship between NYL and the RMI Department that began in 1960 with a $15,000 pledge by NYL to advance the academic goals of the young insurance department. Since then, NYL's commitment and support continues to bolster the department's position as one of the world's premier centers for risk management education and research, and strengthen the department's capacity to develop and train tomorrow's insurance leaders.
In March 2003, David P. Richardson, assistant professor of risk management and insurance in the RMI Department, was appointed as the inaugural holder of the New York Life Professorship of Insurance. As New York Life Professor, Dr. Richardson will be engaged in highly visible research, teaching, and service activities, consistent with his areas of specialization which include public and private retirement savings programs, employee benefits programs, public sector economics, and international economics. |
