The LSU Center for Internal Auditing & Cybersecurity Risk Management was proud to host Colorado Robertson and Chad Bourque for a discussion on risk management in practice.

Colorado shared how risk management at Louisiana State University extends well beyond insurance, highlighting the integration of risk analysis, financing, and mitigation strategies to support the university’s broader mission. His perspective reinforced the importance of building a culture where risk awareness is embedded into everyday decision making across campus.

Chad brought an applied ERM lens, walking through how organizations operationalize frameworks through aligned taxonomies, clearly defined risk appetites, and KRI-driven reporting. His insights gave students a practical look at how ERM evolves across complex organizations.

Opportunities like this are what make the Center special. Connecting students with professionals who are actively shaping the future of risk helps bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world, and continues to strengthen the pipeline of future leaders in internal audit and risk management.

Join us for an information session and pizza either Wednesday March 25th at 5:30pm in room BEC 1220 or Tuesday March 31st at 5:30pm in the BEC Auditorium. Come out and learn about what the LSU Center for Internal Auditing and Cybersecurity Risk Management is all about!
