We had such a great experience with Andrew Rea! Students on campus were very excited about this event, and we were very pleased with the turnout. He was a great speaker, and the moderated Q&A format worked well. Andrew was great with engaging the audience. I think all the students who attended felt they had a unique experience. He even did some audience Q&A himself and walked the microphone around to students himself. We appreciated that Andrew was up for anything and felt comfortable handling any difficult questions, although none came up. As for the live cooking demo, Andrew worked with our constraints amazingly, and improvised on the fly to make things work out.
