Pi Day is celebrated to promote Tau Beta Pi and increase awareness of the Iowa Alpha Chapter among engineering students, faculty members and visitors to the University. The event in Spring 2025 will take place in the entrance of Howe Hall and the Atrium of Hoover Hall, which are central locations through which many engineering students pass on their way to class. This semester the actual Pi day, March 14, is the Friday before Spring Break when many student have already left campus. Therefore, Pi Day will be celebrated on Thursday April 13. Forty pies (Apple, Cherry, Peach and Strawberry-Rhubarb) are purchased and 314 pieces (100*pi) pieces of pie placed in individual pie containers for distribution.
