New Format for Big Cheese Forum:
A topic will be announced from the listed above (order to be determined; the appropriate individual will speak to the topic for 2-3 minutes. After that students will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding that topic for about 5 minutes. Students can motion to extend time for a particular topic, if they feel have more questions regarding a particular topic. Once all listed topics have been identified, we will have a chance for students to ask other questions, and for you to ask questions as well! We would like the Big Cheese Forum to be an event where students can not only ask questions, but can also answer any.
