This year we will honor the life of Gustavus Adolphus dance department chair, Michele Rusinko, by creating a booklet of Facebook posts from the last year of her life. It will be a collection of poems and illustrations related to what gave her solace as she struggled with a life ending disease. You will receive as you enter as part of your registration fee.
