Guzinski and Schoffers (WMU Department of Chemistry) performed showcase dances with their partners at "Elements of Dance" on November 9, 2012 at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and also taught a Salsa lesson. The event drew a total of 179 people, including 63 local chemists along with ballroom dancers and spectators.
Congratulations to Evan Dalke, a WMU graphic design student, who won a cash prize after submitting the winning T-shirt graphic, which was also printed in the event program.
