SUMMARY:"Colors of Grief: Shades of Love and Loss" Art Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: November 3-21\nWilliam Blizard Gallery*\nSecond Floor\, Herbert P. Blake Hall \nRick’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. \nRick’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. \nWe 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. \nThis reception is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. \nArtwork by Jemma Thompson in remembrance of her son\, Kenjamin \n*The gallery is open Monday-Friday\, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

SUMMARY:McCabe Lecture-Why Do We Drink? How Sex\, Environment\, and Caffeine Shape Alcohol Use in Mouse Models
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Elizabeth J. Crofton\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Neuroscience\nDepartment of Psychology and Neuroscience\, Emmanuel College \nAlcohol 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. \nIn 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. \nPrior 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. \nThis 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 \nIf 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.
