Scenes from the Annual Pie in the Face for the Human Race

Several years ago, University Housing and Residence Life held its first annual Pie in the Face for the Human Race event. Students were given the opportunity to put a pie in the face of the Residence Life Coordinator staff. Our recent event was held on Thursday, April 15 on the JSU Quad. Students paid $1 per pie and all proceeds benefited Relay for Life. This year, over $85 was raised for Relay for Life. This event was also held as apart of the annual Resident Appreciation Week. Please take the time to enjoy the scenes from this year's event.
