11 brave professors and lab techs from Laurentian University lined up to get a cream pie in the face and for only three dollars, you could take your pick of the victims.

It’s not often you have a chance to throw a whipped cream pie at a professor, but Laurentian University students in Sudbury got that chance.

Medlife is an international group that provides medicine, education and development in impoverished communities. The proceeds from the Sudbury event will help a young sponsor in Peru named Gino.
