Professor Farkas takes a pie in the face against cancer
Professor Farkas’s organic chemistry class (CHEM 261) was challenged to raise over $150 for the Five-Colleges Against Cancer Relay for Life — in return, one student would get to throw a ‘pie in her face’. The students managed to raise over $250, and Professor Farkas got the pie.
