Rusinko Endowment Fund

The Michele Rusinko Endowment Fund for Guest Artists for Dance was established to provide students with transformative opportunities through the inclusion of guest artists in the dance program at Gustavus. Michele Rusinko recognized the vital role that guest artists play in enriching the educational experience by introducing diverse genres, styles, and creative processes. These artists challenge students to expand their thinking and movement, breaking preconceived notions of dance. The fund fosters a dynamic, public-facing dance community, encouraging student network connections and supporting a broader understanding of the art form. Through this endowment, students gain exposure to new perspectives and deepen their creative practice.

Support the Michele Rusinko Endowment Fund for Guest Artists, enriching dance education with transformative experiences that expand students' creativity and embodied expression.
