Discover what the risk management function/structure looks like at other URMIA member institutions
If You’ve Seen Two Institutions’ Risk Management Structure…
Modifying our favorite phrase from Gary Langsdale, an URMIA past president and former assistant vice president & university risk officer at Penn State University, we would complete the header to say “you’ve seen two institutions’ risk management structure.”
We’re sharing the risk management profile of URMIA institutional members to help you see how others are structured and find some fellow URMIAns that you might want to connect with because you have a question about how they operate. This month's profile shares two very different institutions.
