Fundraising campaign celebrates mascot's birthday



Engineering students celebrate with their Patron Saint every year for his birthday -- which falls on April Fools' Day. As a tradition of what started out as a prank and soon became a million dollar fundraising campaign, the Cockrell School of Engineering hands out free cake to all students who stop by. This year, students were given a chance to meet and speak with Alec, their saint while learning more about giving back to their school. The birthday bash was put on by the Friends of Alec a fundraising organization that focuses on raising funds for the school to continue funding engineering education.
