π-A-Professor
|
|
The National Society of Black Engineers sponsored "Pi-A-Professor" on Friday, March 20 in Wean Hall’s fifth floor atrium, in honor of the number pi — 3.14. The event was celebrated late because March 14 fell during Spring Break. The lineup included Gregory Kesden, Mark Stehlik and Luis von Ahn (at left) of the School of Computer Science; Kurt Larsen of the Carnegie Institute of Technology; John Mackey of the Mellon College of Science; and Erik Theissen of the College of Humanities & Social Sciences. See who got pi-ed.
