Alert David Letterman! A leadership and communication course at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana is gaining national recognition. And get this, it's because they're helping strangers fall in love!

Communication instructor Mary Moore offered the class an opportunity to choose their own class project, and Ball State junior, Albert Jennings, pitched the winning idea. Thus, "Cardinal Chemistry" was born (this is their official logo).

The class chose three bachelors from among their own classmates and organized a mixer after which the three dudes were paired with ladies with whom they really hit it off.

And the couples are doing actual couple things! Going on dates, meeting parents, and even breaking up.

All the while, the class is learning the ins and outs of effective leadership. Just look at all that collaboration!

And remember the fame part? Cardinal Chemistry is popping up EVERYWHERE. From Ball State news outlets like BSU Tonight...

to local news in the Muncie Star Press...

Naturally, all of us here at Ball State (and especially in the Communication department) are freaking out with excitement for our leadership class. If you'd like to share in the excitement (and keep up to date on, well, the dates!) follow Cardinal Chemistry at their Facebook page, their Twitter feed, or their homepage on tumblr.
