Agenda

• Institute Council FA22 OKR Grading (Jeff Dayton-Johnson)

Introduction

• This is the third semester we have implemented a regular cycle of presenting the Institute Council OKRs at the beginning of the semester, and following up with grading at the end of the semester.
• These OKRs represent collective Council work and do not represent the full priorities of individual members.
• Some of these OKRs will carry over into the spring semester.
