To successfully manage risk at UAF we must work to identify potential exposures and develop the most effective solutions. It is the role of the UAF Risk Manager to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students to help them meet their goals while still protecting the university.

The goal of UAF Risk Management - Minimize the Risk of Loss to the University by:

1. Identifying sources of loss
2. Assessing the impact of losses
3. Selecting or recommending risk management options (transfer the risk, retain the risk, avoid the risk, loss prevention or loss reduction)
4. Implementing risk management strategies
5. Monitoring risk management solutions for effectiveness
