Risk Management Mission
The Risk Management Department at Yale will provide integrated management of financial and traditional risk, including the identification, evaluation, and measurement of the impact to Yale, and the selection and maintenance of various solutions to mitigate risk.

- Collecting exposure and claims data
- Analyzing the information proactively and reactively for specific incident trends or categories.
- Developing cost containment and loss control programs and policies to address trends
