Involvement in student organizations is a wonderful way to build leadership skills and to gain useful out of the classroom experiences such as team work,
communication skills and risk management. As an officer in a student organization, you need to know about risk management. If
there is one aspect of student organization practices and activities that is often overlooked or not given enough attention it is
risk management. The reality is that student organizations, their leaders, their advisors, and even individual members can find
themselves involved in lawsuits for failing to reduce risky behavior or taking reasonable precautions to ensure health and safety.
Good risk management can help you design experiences that are developmental, educational, safe, and successful. Hazing is a real
risk management issue. To request a presentation/training on risk management, click here.
