Lone Eagle/The Forest: Coyote Makes a World Music Performance
2025-10-16 19:30 - 20:30 | Marsh Memorial Chapel
As the central figure within Indigenous storytelling traditions of the Interior Northwest, Coyote navigates the tenuous and tumultuous present in Coyote Makes a World, a collaborative multimedia project between storyteller/vocalist čnaq’ymi (lone eagle) and The Forest, a cooperative percussion ensemble featuring Gustavo Aguilar, Leah Bowden, Andrew Drury, and Michael Wimberly. Centered on stories that embody the qualities of long held Native storytelling traditions, here Coyote encounters the contemporary crises of our times, oblivious to the consequences of his actions in ways that are familiar, unsettling, and often humorous. Set within a dynamic rhythmic landscape layered with songs and mesmerizing vocalizations, Coyote Makes a World reflects the world we’ve made while taking the listener to places they’ve never before encountered.
This event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public.

Wakhri Film Screening and Q&A with Writer and Director Iram Parveen Bilal
2025-10-30 16:00 - 19:00 | Appleton Auditorium, Fuller Arts Center, 263 Alden Street, Springfield, MA, 01109
Join us for a screening of the feature film Wakhri followed by a Q&A with the film’s writer and director, Iram Parveen Bilal, on the creative process of making this feature film and telling the story of Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch.
Baloch, a widowed school teacher, becomes a viral sensation overnight when she accidentally unleashes her unabashed opinions on social media. This newfound fame comes with its own challenges as she has to navigate archaic mindsets and secret identities.
Iram Parveen Bilal is an award-winning empathic creator excited to tell thought-provoking stories that are socially impactful and envision an inclusive world. Bilal has quickly become a voice to reckon with in the Muslim community and on the world cinema stage. Invested in “raising while rising,” her past films have led to measurable shifts in causes they championed. She has not only formed initiatives to uplift her community in film and tech but has also championed causes that are traditionally unpopular to support. Bilal initiated the formation of the Pakistani Oscar committee and is the founder of QALAMBAAZ, Pakistan’s first professional screenwriting lab, now in its tenth year.
Check out the trailer.
This event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public.

William Blizard Gallery*

Rick’s Place, a beacon of support for children, teens, and families navigating grief, is proud to present this special gallery exhibit and opening reception in commemoration of National Children’s Grief Awareness Month. We recognize this each November to normalize the conversation around grief and loss, and its impact on young people. In the United States, it is estimated that one in 12 youth will lose a parent or sibling by the time they reach 18 years of age. In Hampden County, there are more than 5,000 young people living with a death loss.
Rick’s Place artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief.
We invite the community to join our Memory Wall Installation by contributing a photograph of a loved one who has died, along with a message or note in their memory.
This reception is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public.

McCabe Lecture-Why Do We Drink? How Sex, Environment, and Caffeine Shape Alcohol Use in Mouse Models
2025-11-06 16:00 - 17:00 | Appleton Auditorium, Fuller Arts Center, 263 Alden Street, Springfield, MA, 01109
Presented by Elizabeth J. Crofton, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Emmanuel College
Alcohol use, drug abuse, and substance use disorders represent major clinical conditions in the United States and worldwide, with substantial impacts on social, health, and economic outcomes. Despite the prevalence of these disorders and years of study, the mechanisms underlying addiction are still poorly understood. The major aim of the Crofton laboratory at Emmanuel College in Boston is to investigate the neurobiological and molecular mechanisms of abused drugs by using an animal model that shows individual differences in drug intake, environmental enrichment. Many people drink alcohol but do not develop substance use disorder. Similarly, environmentally enriched female animals drink more alcohol compared to isolated animals.
In this lecture, Crofton will discuss the work of the Crofton lab in its investigation of these behavioral differences as well as co-abuse of alcohol with caffeine and the molecular effects driving these individual differences.
Prior to joining the Psychology and Neuroscience faculty at Emmanuel in 2020, Crofton was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, N.C., in the Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research and Education (SPIRE) Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Her postdoctoral research in the laboratories of Melissa A. Herman, PhD, and A. Leslie Morrow, PhD, focused on the neurobiological mechanisms of alcohol at the single-cell level using animal models.
This event, presented by the Department of Biology/Chemistry, is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. Refreshments will be served at 3:30 PM
If you have a disability and require a reasonable accommodation to fully participate in this event, please contact Kellie Lavoie at klavoie2@springfield.edu to discuss your accessibility needs.
