About Us

 

As part of Oregon State University's Strategic Plan, the Office of Risk Management (ORM) is committed to the stewardship of the human, fiscal, and physical resources entrusted to OSU.

Our Mission


Protecting our resources to provide the OSU community with;

  • excellent academic programs,
  • educational experiences,
  • and creative scholarship.

This is the mission of the Office of Risk Management (ORM) at OSU. The key word in this mission statement is "Protecting." Successfully protecting our resources involves managing risk. This means that we work with the OSU community to identify potential exposures and develop the most effective solutions to protect our resources so that OSU can accomplish its overall mission… providing excellent programs, experiences, and scholarship.

As a service department within the Business Services Division, we provide risk management consultation and resources to the University community. Our goal is to minimize the risk of loss to the University by:

  • Identifying sources of loss
  • Assessing the impact of losses
  • Selecting or recommending risk management solutions
  • Implementing risk management strategies
  • Monitoring risk management solutions for effectiveness

Our role is to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students to help them meet their goals while still protecting the University. Working together we can accomplish both.
