Risk Management is a process whereby an attempt is made to identify, evaluate and control loss exposures to minimize the adverse effects of unpredictable events. It involves:

Identification of Potential Risks
Evaluation of Risks
-- Probability
-- Consequences
The Management of Risks
-- Risks to be eliminated
-- Risks to be limited
-- Risks to be accepted

UNLV believes the process of risk management should be to reduce and manage risks while maintaining student leadership development through experiential learning.

The goals of Proactive Risk Management guidelines are to ensure event planners plan and host events where everyone involved has a safe and fun experience. Risk Management involves determining potential and perceived risks involved in activities, as well as supervising organization activities and taking corrective actions and proactive steps to minimize accidental injury and/or loss. In order for events to remain a positive part of the UNLV experience, it is important planners take precautions and carefully plan their activities so they can avoid situations that may jeopardize the safety and well-being of the UNLV campus community.
