Challenges

Challenges

• Veris machine• Late harvest = delayed data

collection• Hybrid Turnover (switching to P0216

and P0533 for 2014)• Coordination from a distance

Opportunities/Achievements

• Excellent set of data for year one!• Anticipating Research note in late Jan.

early Feb. to spur interest for 2014.• Intern job postings up and attracting

interest.
