Mission Statement
The Office of Comprehensive Risk Management understands that the primary
objective of the risk management process is to support the core mission of the
institution by protecting the institution against unexpected or unnecessary
loss of resources. Therefore, it is the mission of the Risk Management Office,
through collaboration and consultation with senior administration, faculty,
staff and external business partners, to ensure the preservation of the
physical, human and financial resources of Dartmouth College.
This mission will be achieved by integrating sound risk management
techniques into each operating unit of the campus. Risk
Management will:
- systematically identify and analyze risk exposures,
- select and implement appropriate risk control strategies and
- select fiscally prudent financing mechanisms to fund expected incurred
losses from institutional activities.
The Office of Comprehensive Risk Management also understands that in
order to maintain an institution-wide integrated risk management program, the
commitment and support of senior administration is required. Risk
Management will work closely with senior administration to develop and
foster this support. Furthermore, each operating unit within the College
community must have a systematic and proactive program of risk assessment and
loss prevention and control in order to minimize the probability, occurrence
and financial impact from accidental losses.
