Kivanc Oner and Vito Rocco had dozens of pies smashed in their faces by students, faculty, and staff during this year’s Pie on Pida event. Each pie represented a donation to the university as part of UNLV’s annual Rebels Give event, a 24-hour crowdfunding event that helps support the university and its various programs across campus. Established seven years ago, Rebels Give has now raised over $2.9 million in donations since its start to better support UNLV programs.

Oner, vice president for digital transformation and chief information officer, and Rocco, chief information security officer, joined fellow campus leaders and were able to add on to the thousands of donations collected throughout the day with their efforts. This is the second year that they’ve participated in the Pie on Pida event, continuing to make a difference within our campus community.
