WVU School of Dentistry Dean David Felton uses his fingers as wiper blades to remove whipped cream and pie crust from his goggles Thursday, at the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — As a group of WVU School of Dentistry students and faculty count down from 10, Dean David Felton sat there knowing a pie was going to meet his face at zero.
Felton was pied and with pie crust and shaving cream dripping from his face, Felton led out a “Woooooooooooooo.”
The pieing of the dean was a fundraiser for a club and scholarship at the school. Whichever faculty member had the most money donated in their name was the one that was going to get pied.
Blake Johnson, a dentistry student, handled the bidding before Felton was pied. He said they raised $300 on May 1 in addition to $200 raised beforehand. Some of the money will go to the Elliot Shulman Dentistry Scholarship and the other funds will go to the Pediatric Dentistry Club, Johnson said.
