It sustainability just pie in the sky?

Or is it pie in the eye?

I don't have the answer, but in order to raise donations for my ride I definitely took the latter.  Since my ride in 2009, my students have annually held a fundraising event, called Pie-a-professor, to raise money toward Climate Ride.  Yep, I will do anything to reach my fund raising goal.

 I have to thank Dr. Danielle Jacobs for standing by my side and taking several pies for the cause as well.  It was a little cold when we did this event last Tuesday.  Hence the reason we are bundled up.






As you can see, she took quite a few pies first.  There were quite a few students who had it in for her.  Perhaps her last exam in Organic Chemistry a little too hard???

 Well eventually, the students realized I was an easy target as well......

In the end it was pretty even.  And some of the students, like Paul Ghattas here, a graduating senior and president of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, the Chemistry Honor Society also took some pies for the cause.....

The event was fun, but I got enough pudding up my nose, that I will be smelling vanilla for at least a week!









All in the name of working towards a better future, right?  That's what I kept telling myself with each pie.....
