The Ballroom Dance Club, Student National Medical Association and UProgram are co-organizing “Dancing with U,” set for Friday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. at Memorial Chapel, to raise funds for the Diana Legacy Fund.
“This will be an awesome chance for students to see faculty and administrators dance,” said Ben Miles ’10, president of the Ballroom Dance Club. “Each professor and administrator will be paired with a student from the Ballroom Dance Club. Each couple will perform one dance, and the audience will vote on which is the best.”
There’ll be commentary from a trio of judges: Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach Jessica Critchlow, Director of Student Activities Matt Milless and Assistant Director of the Dance Program Marcus Rogers.
Participating faculty and staff members include Chad Orzel, assistant professor of physics; Scott LaBrake, senior lecturer, physics; Dean of Students Steve Leavitt; Residence Director Patrick Duffy, Assistant Professor of Biology Nicole Theodosiou Napier, Senior Artist-in-Residence Patricia Culbert, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Laurie Tyler, Director of Multicultural Affairs Karen Ferrer-Muñiz and Senior Associate Dean of Students Trish Williams.
All proceeds will go the Diana Legacy Fund, which helps provide hospice care in sub-Saharan Africa. It is named after Diana, Princess of Wales, who supported AIDS causes.
The event is open to the campus community. Admissions is $5, which gives five votes; additional votes can be purchased for $1.
