"To re-conceptualize risk management in a language we are comfortable with, we must move beyond legalese (i.e., policies and compliance), and use our own language as student affairs professionals. This means utilizing the 'curriculum' of student affairs risk management to explore the shades of gray presented by ethics, values congruence, critical thinking, responsibility to self, responsibility to others, and responsibility to the community-at-large."

~ Kim Novak, Presenter

Overview

The primary barrier to engaging students and staff in risk management practices is the way educators have approached the discussion. Rules, policies, and a litany of "thou shalt nots" remain the focus of many risk management programs and resources. Even though we understand that learning occurs best through experiential and collaborative efforts, we have not shifted away from the language that originally shaped the risk management discussion. In order to reconceptualize risk management we must take the conversation on our campus beyond policies and compliance and into the shades of gray presented by ethics, values congruence, responsibility to self and others, and critical thinking.

This webinar will show you how to overcome the barriers that may keep students and staff from engaging in risk management efforts, as well as how to proactively minimize riks while still maintaining traditional campus events.
