Configuring multiple administrative processes, learning management systems, developing forms, and shaping units into one cohesive youth protection program takes a significant and sustained effort by the cross-campus community.
Please join our expert panel of CSU Risk Managers and Praesidium to discuss the implementation of youth protection initiatives across the campuses. Our experts will discuss cultivating buy-in, developing policies, instituting training, and empowering reporting in higher education. Attendees will receive many of the pieces necessary to complete the youth protection puzzle.

Keynote: Adapting to 2023 – Finding Resilience (presentation not available)
Description: Fact. Resilience is a Top Skill Needed in Today’s WorkplaceSo many changes in the workplace these days, which is a difficult place for most of us to be. We are hardwired to prefer routine and most often our brains turn to negativity. And most don’t have the skills that help us manage change, stress and novel situations. Resilience provides you with a protective factor to deal effectively with times of change, high pressure, and stress - a quality you can pass on to your team. It is a core leadership skill. Resilience enables a positive approach to work and outlook on life, which in turn enables better problem-solving and helps to maintain motivation. There hasn’t been a more appropriate, or necessary, time in our lives to focus on resilience. While the common description of resilience is the ability to “bounce back after hardship”, Jean challenges you to bounce forward. To take the resilience skills you will discover you already have, add some new skills you will learn in this session and become a better person. Topping off the session are ways you can recharge, reenergize and motivate yourself and others.

Concurrent Session 1 |
| EHS and Risk Management Across the CSU - Perspectives, Anecdotes and Hope
presentation
Description: Post-COVID campus visits with EHS and their key RM, WC, Facilities, and other risk stakeholders revealed some common themes. Our campuses are facing larger societal trends that challenge many organizations, though local cultures, economics, and environments make every situation different. These issues affect our ability to fill jobs and continuity of institutional knowledge. In addition, emerging risks and common responsibilities make collaboration and alignment of more value than it was previously. The breaking down of “silos” because of the pandemic and more streamlined collaboration due to technology are examples of positive trends that that can help us address our challenges as well as have some fun and build relationships.

| The Environmental Health and Safety Leaders' Perspectives of Higher Education Safety Culture
Description: The lack of academic literature on the perspectives of EHS leaders at institutions of higher learning in the United States was the cause of pursuing this topic. The initial focus of the study was on the EHS directors of CSU. However, I could not secure enough volunteers to participate in the research. The solution was to broaden the inquiry to all higher education institutions across the United States. In this presentation, I will share my journey and findings based on the 2019 CSU EHS audits data, the survey of 23 EHS leaders, and interviews with eight of them, including one of the top scholars in the field.

| The Psychology of Risk (Canceled)
Description: Do you wonder why people are more concerned about sharks on a visit to the beach than skin cancer, even though 48,000 people die each year from melanoma, and only about 6 people a year die by shark attack? Or why most people are more concerned about a plane crash than an automobile crash, even though statistically, it is 67 times riskier to travel the same distance by car than by plane. REAL risk and PERCEIVED risk can often be very different. As risk and safety professionals, one of our key responsibilities is helping people to assess risks as accurately as possible, and narrowing the gap between the perception of risk and the actual risk. Because we make our decisions and take actions based on how we perceive risks, it is important that the perception of risk matches the reality of risk as closely as possible. In this session, participants will learn about the psychology behind fear, risk, and behavior by reviewing concepts such as “dread factors” and cognitive bias, and will learn some techniques to overcome these biases, and therefore be better prepared to address the right risks in the right ways.
By attending this session, participants will:
1. Learn how to recognize and narrow the gap between perceived and actual risk. 2. Be able to recognize the most common types of cognitive bias and “dread factors” that can interfere with decision-making and risk analysis. 3. Learn how to apply techniques to compensate for the factors and characteristics of the human condition that can skew our perception of risks.
