Collaboration/Integration

     The Academic Risk Management Services office is a collaborative effort between the Division of Student Affairs (specifically the Department of Student Activities) and Academic Affairs. The two areas work together to plan, implement, and assess a proactive risk management program for academic departments as well as student organizations at Texas A&M.

Academic Risk Management Services has also made it a goal to collaborate and work with The University Risk and Compliance Office and the Texas A&M University System’s Risk Management and Safety Office. One objective is working in collaboration with University Risk & Compliance on rules, regulations, and policies concerning faculty responsibilities, governance, and employment. Two other areas that have been identified as important objectives for collaboration have been the camp & enrichment program approval process and insurance acquisition for stakeholders.
