Pie the Professor

Campaign Extension Update:

We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all who have contributed to our crowdfunding campaign thus far! Your support means the world to us.

However, we're still short of our $5,000 goal and have decided to extend our crowdfunding campaign. Our aim is to garner further support for the students of the UTEP Department of Theatre and Dance.

Please help us spread the word about our campaign among fellow Miners, friends, and family. Your passion and generosity, along with the support of our community, will provide UTEP Theater and Dance students with incredible opportunities and scholarship awards.


Over the years, we’ve had great success with our “Pie the Professor” crowdfunding campaigns, and once again, our professors are putting their faces on the line to gain that success. 

Therefore, we invite you to partake in our 4th “Pie the Professor” campaign, where professors literally put their faces on the line for a good cause. 

Your gift is your vote! Just click on “Give Today” through this page, and in the dedication area of the giving form, select “In Honor of” and enter the name of the professor (listed below) that you’d like to see get pied! 

  • Adriana Dominguez
  • Cynthia Esparza
  • Rebecca Frost Mayer
  • Samantha Nava
  • Jay Stratton
  • Hide Tsutsui

The professor with the most donations in their name will be pie-d in the face live on social media. But, if our goal is met, ALL the professors will get pie-d!  

Wouldn’t that be a sight to see?

All funds raised in this effort go toward scholarship awards that help relieve some financial burdens for students majoring in the Department of Theatre and Dance.

Our dedicated student-centered program is a diverse group of artists and scholars whose devotion to exceptional teaching, service, creative practice, and research enables student artists to refine their skills for a professional career. 

It also offers many performance and design opportunities within our season of shows, traveling productions, student projects, and the Chican@/Latin@ Theatre series. 

Place your vote today and make a gift to show your support for our dedicated students of Theatre and Dance.

Voting has begun and will end March 27th at 11:59 PM MST.
