Relief and response

Wake Forest students, faculty, and staff responded to Hurricane Katrina in a number of ways, including raising about $20,000 for the American Red Cross and collecting thousands of canned goods and other supplies for Second Harvest Food Bank. The Hurricane Katrina Relief Committee, coordinated by Chaplain Tim Auman and Andrea Ellis, assistant director of student development, supported activities that included a blood drive, a clothing drive, a bake sale, and a benefit theatre performance. The committee’s name has since been changed to the Wake Forest Relief & Response Committee to broaden its mission Members of Alpha Phi Omega hold a bake sale to raise money for hurricane to respond to future emergencies.

In addition to six couples that train under adjunct professor of dance Robert Simpson for tournament competition, forty-five or fifty students show up on a typical Sunday afternoon to learn and refine the tango, rumba, mambo, cha cha, foxtrot, waltz, and swing. Some come for a few weeks to, say, prepare for a ball or wedding reception, while others take the floor with their partners week in and week out, elevating their skills to ever higher levels. “In the dance, you show respect for your partner, yourself, and the art itself,” says DuMont in explaining ballroom’s appeal. “There’s passion behind it on a subtle level, even if you and your partner are not romantically involved. It is trusting, demanding a high degree of synchronization with another. There is metaphor and meaning in all the moves. And it is elegant and beautiful. “I never understood why my generation hasn’t learned it,” adds the theatre major, who directed a play in Ring Theatre this fall. “It has a seduc- tive quality that’s understated.

The experience has given her something of profound and lasting value. “It seems important in life to establish loyalty through the forming of friendships,” she says. “I‘ve made a lot of very good friends.”

It was a challenge to learn to delegate and cultivate the leadership that would follow me.
