Welcome to the Office of Risk Management
The Office of Risk Management and Insurance (Risk Management) is the support organization within the University that provides the expertise necessary to maintain a safe and healthy campus environment where bodily injury and property damage risk are prevented or controlled and the potential liability from loss is adequately financed. Risk Management involves the identification and analysis of three key exposures: 1) liability for bodily injury and property damage; 2) physical damage to the University’s own property; and 3) liability for causing others to suffer financial loss.

Managing the university's risk is accomplished through programs that are implemented through collaborative efforts with numerous departments. To achieve effective implementation, all members of the University community have a responsibility to actively support the risk management programs, policies, and procedures.
