You can take that to your supervisor and then will forward to Kathie Alm who will enter and pass it on to me. What this does is it makes paper trail/list for me to reference as well as collects information as to who and how I am helping. I can definitely answer short questions as needed though if you have something which becomes more in depth I may refer you to the form.
