Risk Management
The Center for Student Involvement has established a 3-step process for student organizations to complete the annual Risk Management Training requirement.
Risk management training is essential to ensure student safety and well-being. It equips student leaders with the tools to manage risks and create a secure environment, reflecting our commitment to their success and safety. It covers issues such as substance abuse, hazing, sexual harassment, safety protocols, and more.
