Changes

Once we had all of the sign ups, we created table assignments. Each table had a few CDE fellows, a few students and 1-3 faculty / staff members. The idea is for a table to be no more than one quarter CDE fellows. We will put enough CDE fellows at each table so that they know some people at their table. However, since the point of the event is to encourage interactions between the fellows and other members of the community, we made sure that there were no all fellows tables or all students tables. To encourage discussions, the format was a semi-formal sit down dinner.
