Talk about taking one for the team.
Ten prominent UNMC faculty and staff members have agreed to put their dignity on the line during Spirit Week.
For $1, members of the UNMC community can buy a chance to put a pie in the face of:
- Kim Ager, an administrative business associate in the School of Allied Health Professions.
- Robert Binhammer, Ph.D., retired gross anatomy professor, College of Medicine.
- Allie Dering-Andersen, Pharm.D., assistant professor, College of Pharmacy.
- Shawn Gibbs, Ph.D., associate dean for student affairs, College of Public Health.
- Jeremy Hosein, Student Senate president, College of Medicine.
- Charles Krobot, Pharm.D., associate dean, College of Pharmacy.
- Tom O’Connor, senior associate director of communications in the public relations department.

- John Ridgway, director of the office of experimental programs, College of Pharmacy.
- James Temme, Charles R. O’Malley Chair for Radiation Science Technology Education, School of Allied Health Professions.
“No, I’m not looking forward to getting a whipped cream pie in the face,” acknowledged O’Connor. “But it’s for a good cause — the funds go to the Student Senate Scholarship Fund — and it’s all in good fun. I’d like to say I’m honored to be nominated . . . but I’m not sure.”
UNMC faculty, staff and students can buy $1 chances to “pie” the person of their choice throughout the month of October. The “pie-ing” will take place at noon Oct. 31 at the Scott Student Plaza. You must be present to “pie” your person of choice.
