RISK MANAGEMENT
Who we are
At Grand Valley State University, Risk Management is a department within the Finance & Administration Division
Mission
The mission of Risk Management within Grand Valley State University is to proactively protect the human, financial, and physical assets of the University from adverse outcomes associated with unanticipated losses. We accomplish this by 1) understanding the risk financing marketplace and procuring appropriately designed products, and 2) assisting institutional stakeholders in the development of practices that foster awareness and management of exposures, including opportunity risks, at acceptable levels.
Responsibilities
The Department takes a two-pronged approach to our Mission.
Insurance Programs: The Risk Management Department procures, monitors, and administers most of the University's commercially insured, collaboratively insured, and self-insured programs.
Risk Management: The Risk Management Department strives to encourage a risk-aware culture throughout the institution, collaborating with all university stakeholders on a variety of short and long-term projects to facilitate ethical decision-making.
