The Risk Management area serves as the university's central hub for maintaining campus safety and managing institutional risk. Working collaboratively with faculty, staff, and students, the department focuses on creating and sustaining a safe, healthy workplace environment across all university operations. The team oversees comprehensive insurance coverage and claims processing while developing and implementing risk mitigation strategies for the diverse range of academic activities, research projects, and campus events that define university life. Additionally, Risk Management provides essential support to faculty, staff, and student workers who experience workplace injuries, guiding them through the workers' compensation insurance process to ensure they receive appropriate care and assistance during their recovery.
Workers' Compensation
The Workers' Compensation program covers all employees of the university, including student workers. The coverage is for injuries arising out of and in the course of a person's employment.
Work-related accidents should be reported to the Risk Management Office immediately.
