Message from Campus Compact:
Given the great level of interest we had in our risk management webinar, we have decided to create a knowledge hub of resources. We are currently doing a call for resources related to risk management and community engagement. If your institution has guidelines that you would like to share with us, waiver forms, or other sorts of resources please submit them to Campus Compact via the form link below. Our hope is that this space will be a source of collective knowledge building and sharing. We look forward to reviewing and sharing the submissions.
