IEEE sponsors "Pie-a-Prof" and nets large donation for charity


Blacksburg, VA , April 06, 2008

The Virginia Tech Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently sponsored the Pie-a-Professor fundraising event. Eleven professors from the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering volunteered to be "pied." Pictured is Jason Thweatt, an instructor in the ECE department.

All students and staff were given the opportunity to place bids on their most beloved or loathed professors. Thanks to students and staff, $672.88 was raised for Relay for Life through this event.

Due to its huge success, the event will be held annually. The IEEE would like to thank all the professors involved for their participation.
