The Executive Risk Committee (the “ERC” or the “Committee”) oversees and guides the efforts of the university’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, aligns on a consistent risk management approach across business functions, reviews and escalates new and emerging risks for discussion, and discusses other relevant cross-functional risk-related topics of interest.
Members
As an oversight and advisory body, the ERC includes DePaul leaders (faculty, staff, and administrators) who bring unique perspectives and expertise in risks and internal controls within and across their respective areas of responsibilities.
