Trish Getty Scholarship Nathan Ortiz is Second Recipient Nathan Ortiz, a junior in Actuarial Science at St. John’s University, became the second recipient of AIRROC’s Trish Getty Scholarship Fund. Mr. Ortiz graciously accepted the $5,000 scholarship on board the Hornblower Hybrid yacht during the reception and cruise event on October 15, 2013. He remarked that he is “proud and honored to receive the scholarship and looking forward to joining the insurance industry when he graduates.” Trish Getty, AIRROC’s Executive Director emeritus and namesake of the scholarship, attended to present the award. She noted that Nathan’s enthusiasm for the field and interest in
the business exemplified the reason that the scholarship was established. Mr. Ortiz is on the Dean’s List with a 3.62 GPA. He has successfully completed one qualifying actuarial exam and is currently employed part time both as an underwriting intern at XL Group and at UPS. Trish said, “This young man is amazing and obviously a creative thinker. One
comment Nathan made to me was that he loves weight lifting at the gym and he applies that energy to his real life work. He also talked about his hardworking family, as exemplified by their sacrifice and dedication to work. I was so proud to present this award to Nathan.” l Above: Carolyn Fahey, AIRROC; Nathan Ortiz; Trish Getty
