Most professors will host between 4-8 students.
In November, a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich sold for $28,000 on Ebay.
According to the Associated Press, the woman who sold the sandwich claimed it
resembled the face of the Virgin Mary.
Whether you believe the sandwich looks like Mary or not, you may want to bid on
some less expensive items in convocation on Tuesday.
At this convocation, eighteen faculty/groups of faculty will put their time and
food up for auction, according to Tim Cassens, junior class president. Students
will be able to bid on their favorite professors and snag a meal while
contributing to the Junior/Senior banquet.
Dr. Lori Mills, associate professor of psychology, was auctioned off last year
and will be up for bid again this year. “My husband and I and our boys love
having students over to the house,” she said. “I hate that students are paying
to come over, but I’m glad the juniors are able to raise money this way!”
The auction will be hosted by Dr. Bill Greer and Dr. Bob Mahan, associate
professor of economics and business and associate professer of accounting,
respectively. Cassens said it “will be hysterical.”
Cassens advised students to, “Come prepared with a group already, pick 4 or 6 or
8 people and know what you want to bid with them.” Last year’s auction raised
around $2,000 dollars, Cassens said.
Who knows, you may be able to score some grilled cheese after all.
