Opportunity for All

We invite our affiliate and institutional members — and others — to make submissions that highlight best practices and provide innovative solutions for addressing the challenges facing higher education risk managers at institutions of all sizes and types in the United States and around the world. We consider sessions to be an educational opportunity for all types of URMIA members on campus and in industry. We wish to extend a special invitation to those who have not presented before to take advantage of this opportunity to submit a proposal or join a team of presenters as the next step in building your professional connections and reputation.


Presentation Teams

Except for flash sessions, all sessions must include an URMIA institutional member as a co-presenter/panelist. The maximum number of presenters on a panel is four individuals. Flash sessions, which are a short deep dive on a single subject, are limited to one presenter, who may be an URMIA affiliate or institutional member.

 

Selection Process

Committees of URMIA peers will review the submissions and make selections based on how well each submission's topic aligns with URMIA's Core Competencies for Higher Education Risk Managers and whether the submission addresses current topics, questions, and concerns posted in the URMIAnetwork online communities. If you are not an URMIA member, you may purchase a printed copy by contacting us, or add an URMIA member to your presentation team to access this document.


Selection Criteria

The selection of presentations will be based on the following criteria:

  • Contribution to overall core competency learning
  • Content and clarity of the title and description
  • The use of active learning methods to communicate ideas
  • Innovative approaches to identify, define, or solve current and emerging problems facing risk management professionals
  • Inclusion of practical tools, solutions, management strategies, or innovative programs that attendees can adapt for their campuses
  • Whether presenters who are URMIA members have updated member profile pages, including a headshot photo and short biography, because we link to it from the conference website
