Risk Management

Risk Management for Student Organizations and Advisors

Risk Management Trainings were held during the fall semester.  all Student organizations must have attended trainings or submitted the re-certification forms.

We are offering one last session for new student groups and for the groups whose officers graduated

Risk Management Training Date - Spring 2012


Thursday Feb 23, 2012  Thompson Student Center Room 219  2:00pm - 3:30pm


Once an executive member attends a risk management session, he/she must relay all information to their organization and submit a statement of completion to Student Activities. Information to do so is found here, under Training Your Organization.

In response to House Bill 2639, a risk management training program has been developed.

All student organizations should be concerned with risk management. No matter how big an event or how small an activity, risk will be present at some level. Learning to manage risk will reduce individual liability and ensure a fun, safe environment for participants.

Risk Management is the process of considering the potential and perceived risk involved in activities. It includes monitoring organization activities and taking both corrective action and proactive steps to minimize accidental injury and/or loss.

This website will provide you with information to help identify risk and take proactive steps before difficult situations arise.

Each recognized student organization is required to designate a risk management officer. It can be a stand alone position or duties encumbered into another office. The risk management officer is required to complete the risk management training annually. If the risk management officer has been trained previously, they have the option of re-certifying by reviewing the risk management information on the Student Activities website and submitting a Statement of Completion to our office.

If the risk management officer fails to attend training, activities deemed risky will not be approved. If the risk management officer resigns or is removed from his/her office, we will work with the organization to become compliant.

The online training module will only be made available to advisors if they desire. All organization advisors must attend one session either in person or online.

The following links will provide you with additional information, PowerPoint, and website regarding risk management issues.
