What is Risk Management?

The practice of risk management and the job of the Risk Manager are to help protect the University both internally and externally from things that threaten its integrity. That includes the property, the assets, and the people. The Risk Manager applies the risk management model of risk identification, assessment, measurement, mitigation and monitoring.  The work of the Risk Manager is essential to our ongoing success and is thus a vital University function.

Chapman University is committed to developing and administering a comprehensive and professional risk management program for the entire University community. The University is a longstanding member of the University Risk Management and Insurance Association (URMIA.) The mission of this 523 member professional association is to promote the advancement and application of effective risk management principles and practices in institutions of higher education.
