Risk Management and the Travel Policy

We believe that our role is to balance student freedom and responsibility so that students can learn from their experiences in a safe environment. We encourage student organizations to work with the Dean of Students staff and/or organizational advisors in order to plan safe and successful activities. Student Activities & Leadership Development is committed to working with student organizations to assist them is managing the risk that can occur in the course of student activities; including but not limited to risk of injury, financial risk, and risk of University Policy violations.

Services offered for student organizations include consultations with organizational representatives and advisors on issues concerning: travel, event planning, and organizational development. In addition, we can connect students with campus resources related to risk management and event planning. Presentations are also available on topics related to risk management.
