Leadership
Objective Leaders co-lead campus teams focused on moving the needle of specific institutional objective areas. Guided by the work of campus community suggestions, Provost direction, and best practices culled from additional research and resources, Objective Leaders plan and execute up to three strategies, every fiscal year, that guide the work of campus towards achieving KU's mission.
