Shout out to Keith O'Hara (BGF) and Louis Chamberlain (BBF)!
I want to thank Louis and Keith for all their hard work and coordination for creating an uniform process for the FAS semi-annual review. The consolidation look and feel will help better facilitate the review. This will allow all FAS reviewers across all programs to have a singular experience. Thank you again for the effort to get these streamlined reviews out!
