Why is Braves Kickoff mandatory?
Braves Kickoff is mandatory because all employees are required to attend training sessions throughout the year, and this opportunity will provide minimal disruption during the course of our academic year. Additionally, it is important for all faculty and staff to gather together to hear our strategic and tactical goals for the coming year from Chancellor Cummings and leaders across campus.

How is attendance tracked at Braves Kickoff?
Attendance tracking for mandatory in-person session depends on the use of attendees scanning QR codes at various points throughout the sessions. In the event that you do not have a smartphone, DoIT students and staff will be in the lobby to help assist you.
To scan a QR code, open your camera and point your device at the code. Then, click the notification or link when it appears.
