The University Risk Management & Insurance Association's (URMIA) 2023 Northeastern Regional Conference, being held April 10-11, 2023 in Boston, MA, will focus on risk management and insurance within URMIA's core competencies 2 and 3. It will bring together ideas, lessons learned, and best practices for peers campus-wide and celebrate coming together to hear, learn, and network with each other.
Jim Keller, Saul Ewing's Higher Education Practice Co-Chair, will be speaking on April 11, 2023. His topic is Student Mental Health: Legal Risks & Mitigation Strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated and accelerated student mental health issues on our campuses. As we settle into a "post-COVID" world, it is a good time to discuss the most pressing mental health issues in the world of higher education, the corresponding legal risks, and ways to mitigate that risk - while, most importantly, supporting our students.
Objectives:
- Learn and discuss current mental health issues on college and university campuses
- Understand the corresponding legal risks and acquire mitigation strategies to deal with those risks and serve your students
