NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct. 26, 2000--New York Life Insurance Company announced today that Camille Ku, a senior at the University of Riverside in Riverside, California, is the winner of the company`s College Internship Summer Contest for the Pacific Zone. The winner was selected based on the highest number of submitted life insurance applications for the period between June 1 and August 31, 2000.
New York Life`s Internship Program attracted some 300 students from across the country this year. Interns obtain the skills they need to become successful agents through regular one-on-one contact with agent mentors, the active involvement of NYL training managers and careful supervision from NYL management. During the program, students are able to obtain their agent license and begin working with clients.
''We at New York Life are pleased to be training these extraordinary young people to learn what it takes to be a life insurance agent,'' said Jane Conti, assistant vice president in charge of the internship program. ''It is encouraging to have Camille as our leading agent intern in the Pacific Zone. I hope her accomplishments will inspire other women to pursue their careers in insurance.''
''Thanks to the support and guidance of the partner of the Covina Valley General Office, Yvonne Lee, my agent mentor, Michelle Pao, and my aunt Shirley Sun, New York Life agent of nine years, I was well prepared and motivated to become one of the leading intern agents in the nation,'' said Camille Ku. ''It has been an extremely worthwhile experience to gain such a vast amount of practical business experience in such a short amount of time.''
A celebratory luncheon and award presentation will be held today at the Hilltop Restaurant inside the Shilo Hilltop Suites and Convention Center at 12 p.m. If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Jane Conti at (212) 576-7525.
