Since 2009, Marsh has served as the trusted broker partner for WAICU institutions, leveraging our deep expertise in education sector insurance, collective purchasing power, and commitment to your long-term institutional success. We don’t simply place insurance; we work alongside your leadership team to understand your unique risk profile and help you navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape with confidence.

Why participate in the WAICU group program?

• Comprehensive Coverage for Higher Education: Your campus operates a complex enterprise, and your insurance program must reflect that reality. Marsh coordinates comprehensive institutional coverage across selected and structured with higher education in mind:
• Foundational Coverages: General Liability, Educators Legal Liability, Auto Liability, Excess Liability, and Property Insurance
• Specialized Programs: Fine Arts, Workers Compensation, and Athletic Accident
• Emerging Risk Solutions: Cyber Liability, Crime, Fiduciary, and Special Risk
• Expert Guidance on Risk Management and Compliance: Your institution faces evolving regulatory requirements, changing liability landscapes, and emerging risks that demand proactive strategy and informed decision-making. Marsh works collaboratively with your campus leadership, finance teams, and risk managers to develop best practices tailored to your institution’s profile. Our resources and expertise help you stay informed about emerging educational risks, navigate compliance requirements, and implement loss prevention strategies that protect both your people and your mission.
• Tangible Financial Benefits: The strength of the WAICU consortium creates meaningful economic advantages for member institutions. By pooling purchasing power and sharing risk intelligence, participating campuses enjoy competitive premium rates and favorable terms that reflect both the group’s scale and individual institutional performance. We have structured this program to deliver dividend distributions for workers’ compensation coverage, ensuring that member institutions benefit directly from the program’s collective success.
