Student Risk Education Committee

SREC is a committee that focuses on student risk and liability issues. SREC has received statewide recognition for being pioneers in student safety. UCOP has worked with SREC to serve as a model for other student risk education committees to be implemented UC-wide. The SREC Committee meets to make recommendations to the CPO Director on the spending of SREC funding.

Mission

The Student Risk Education Committee (SREC) is an official university-wide committee within the Community Programs Office in charge of recommending and implementing best practices in student risk education during community service activities on and off campus. SREC aims to produce a culture of safety as students contribute to the community.
