When a professor fills out a grant application for the PCI Foundation, they may not know exactly what they could be in for during the next few years. The PCI Foundation works hard to make the professors we work with part of the precast industry in big ways and small, and during the PCI Convention this year, a few of them got a taste of what they felt like.

Four of the PCI Foundation Professors took part in some fun and dress up as part of the JVI ad on the back of the PCI Convention program. Doug Noble, from University of Southern California played the Scarecrow, Michael Carlos Barrios Kleiss from Clemson University played the Tinman, Karen Kensek from USC played Dorothy, and Eric Matsumoto from Sacramento State University played the Cowardly Lion. Filling in for Toto was the PCI Foundation mascot, Petey the Platypus.
