Mission
Members of the ERM Committee will collaborate on a holistic approach to identifying and managing the full range of risks the University faces. The Committee will champion these strategies and be charged with communicating them to each member’s respective areas so that all stakeholders take ownership. A common language for managing our risks will be established with a balanced view between upside and downside risks – one that attempts to minimize hazards, influence and control uncertainties, and manages opportunities.
