Rathbun Insurance is thrilled to share that our CEO, Ben Rathbun, recently had the honor of speaking at Michigan State University’s week-long Summer Business Institute (SBI), hosted by their Multicultural Business Programs (MBP) Department. This annual event is a cornerstone for aspiring business leaders, providing them with invaluable opportunities to network and gain insights into the resources available within the Eli Broad College of Business.
The SBI program is meticulously designed to immerse students in a comprehensive learning experience. Throughout the week, participants visited key locations on campus, including the iconic Breslin Center and the IM West building, among others. These tours offered them a glimpse into the vibrant campus life and the state-of-the-art facilities that MSU has to offer.
One of the highlights of the program was the opportunity for students to practice their public speaking skills through a signature project. This hands-on experience not only boosted their confidence but also prepared them for real-world business challenges.
Ben’s involvement in this event is a testament to Rathbun Insurance’s core values and vision. By participating in events like the SBI, we embody our
commitment to "give it away to keep it." This philosophy is rooted in the belief that sharing knowledge and resources with others helps to strengthen our community and, in turn, our organization.
Moreover, Ben’s engagement with the students aligns perfectly with our vision statement: "Being There Matters Most." At Rathbun Insurance, we understand the importance of presence and support, especially when it comes to fostering the next generation of business leaders. By being there for these students, we not only contribute to their personal and professional growth but also reinforce our dedication to making a positive impact in our community.
We are incredibly proud of Ben’s role in the Summer Business Institute and look forward to continuing our support for initiatives that align with our values. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community and beyond.
