Graphic announcing New England College's annual Big Block of Cheese Day event

On February 22, 1837, President Andrew Jackson was gifted a gigantic 1,400-pound wheel of cheese. He opened the doors of the White House literally and figuratively so that anyone who wanted could come to speak with him and also partake of the cheese.

In the spirit of community, President Wayne Lesperance will host the fourth Big Block of Cheese Day for the NEC community.

Friday, February 20, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Administration Building Lobby

Please join us for cheese and charcuterie.
