State Farm

"It is easy for me to remember my anniversaries. I began my career at State Farm 9 days before I was married." This month, Scott, a technology analyst, is celebrating two important milestone anniversaries. 15 years ago, family influenced his decision to apply. "My aunt and uncle were agents in Missouri and my wife worked in the claims department. Because of them, I was familiar with the company's stability and reputation for career opportunities." According to Scott, family continues to influence his decision today. "I have met the greatest people working for this company. I can attest to State Farm's strong brand, great benefits, and opportunity for growth. But it's the people, the State Farm family, that make all of that work."

Attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) can have a profound impact on personal and professional development for students. "Choosing to attend an HBCU was the best decision that I made over 20 years ago. I still experience returns from that decision today." Janet, an underwriter, is excited about HBCU week. As an HBCU alumni, she has firsthand experience of the impact these institutions can have on students. "HBCUs strongly promote inclusiveness and diversity. As a student, I learned to look beyond myself, engage with my community, and support others." Janet draws parallels to her experience as a student and an employee. "The overarching theme at most HBCUs is family and community. I think the same can be said about State Farm. We embody our motto, 'Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.'"
