John Roussell’s dance moves are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his presence on campus. The communication design professor recently received the 2013-14 Outstanding Teacher Award, but Roussell is also making an impact outside of the classroom. He is awaiting the premiere of “No Excuses,” a documentary he’s making with his wife, Cathrine Himberg, professor of kinesiology. While in New York making the film, Roussell performed his variation of the salsa in Jay-Z’s Grammy-nominated music video “Picasso Baby.”
