campus locations, including securing all lines of insurance coverage for the College, claims management,
financial reporting to the captive board, and risk consulting throughout the College.
“I am excited for this new challenge,” said Lopez. “Ensuring we mitigate risk exposures is critical to the success of the College, and I am honored to continue to lead our efforts to confront those challenges.”
Lopez has more than 15 years of experience in the risk management field, and in his role provides leadership on issues of risk assessment, mitigation, and oversight and management of the College’s total cost of risk, insurance claims, policies and procedures.
Lopez will continue to report to David Simon, chief legal affairs officer. “Isaiah is a tremendous asset to our team, but especially the College,” said Simon. “His leadership, expertise and ability to assess complex problems will continue to serve us well as we move into the future.”
