Office of Enterprise Risk Management

The Office of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) oversees and facilitates Appalachian State University’s risk management program and strategies designed to protect and enhance the University’s value. These efforts include management of the University’s property and casualty programs, production of risk assessments, and collaborations with risk owners to continuously find effective and creative ways to manage everyday risk.

The ERM Program is designed to simplify University governance and enhance the execution of the institution’s strategic plan and critical activities. The ERM Program strives to provide University leaders with actionable strategic intelligence with a pragmatic focus on optimizing decision making, speed to success, and resource allocation. As a byproduct, the University’s return on finite resources is optimized, strategic priorities are achieved on time, and our reputation as a university of distinction is furthered.
