Braves Kickoff is mandatory because 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. In addition, the event provides the campus community an opportunity to celebrate recent successes and acknowledge the many contributions made by faculty and staff toward the mission of the university.

Attendance tracking for the mandatory in-person session depends on the use of attendees scanning a QR code. 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. 

For most employees, Braves Kickoff consists of two types of meetings. Employees must attend a mandatory general session held in GPAC. Individual divisions and teams also meet together in various locations. 

As all UNCP faculty and staff are required to attend Braves Kickoff, there is no need to RSVP.

Yes. Faculty and staff must complete mandatory compliance training each year. You can find more information on the annual compliance training here.
