of the financial, physical, and human assets of the campus from
loss or destruction. It is our job to identify and evaluate exposures
that put University assets at risk and to assist our customers,
the staff and faculty of UCSB, in selecting the best method of treating
that risk. We are committed to assisting departments in eliminating
or minimizing losses and the effects of losses. We are committed
to excellent customer service, cost efficiency, and to optimizing
the performance of the organization and its employees in support
of the University's mission: research, teaching, and community service.
