CGSA connects faculty, students with pie Chemistry Graduate Student Association holds first Pi Day fundraiser Jordan Dale WRITER
In celebration of Pi Day, the chemistry faculty is placing their fate, and their faces, in the hands of their students.

The predicted winners for the contest are reported as Libody of work speaks to what he was able to accomplish in the time that he had.

Livant and Squillacote, teach freshmen and sophomore level classes and have a large amount of exposure, with students who either love, or loathe them. “Squillacote may be up there,” Casper said. “Though this isn’t for some sort of revenge.” Crumbly said the faculty volunteered and the competition is purely for fun, though some students are enjoying the opportunity to get back at their professors. “I’ve voted for Squillacote and I’m sure he’ll win,” said Billy McCann, graduate student in computational organic chemistry. “He’s the bane of any organic chemistry student’s life.
