SUMMARY:Artist Talk and Reception Featuring Visual Artists Valerie Lyons and Adam Viens
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an Artist Talk and Reception featuring artists Valerie Lyons and Adam Viens \nThe William Blizard Gallery presents two concurrent exhibitions that explore perception\, meaning\, and presence in a world defined by transience – Not All Birds are Blackbirds by Valerie Lyons and The Ethics of Ambiguity by Adam Viens. The exhibitions run from March 2 through April 3. \nTogether\, Viens and Lyons lean into intuition as a mode of practice. Viens engages silence as structure through large-scale abstract paintings that suspend resolution and resist the overproduction of meaning. Lyons offers sculptural and sonic works that move through light\, shadow\, and care—acts of witnessing where perception itself becomes devotional. In the context of a college gallery\, these exhibitions take on particular resonance. They invite students\, faculty\, and the wider community into a shared space of inquiry where art becomes both reflection and experiment. By foregrounding intuition\, both artists resist the demand for fixed answers\, instead modeling how creative practice can cultivate attentiveness\, ambiguity\, and relational understanding. Placed side by side\, the exhibitions move through the complexity of contemporary life—between human and natural\, reason and intuition\, spirit and form. Art here becomes a pedagogical act as much as an aesthetic one: a meditation on how we remain present amid uncertainty\, transformation\, and change. \nArtist Talk begins at 3:15 PM\, followed by a Reception from 4:00-5:30 PM

SUMMARY:The 11th Annual Tom Waddell Symposium for Sports and Values at Springfield College
DESCRIPTION:It’s No Joke\nHow athletes and teams need to support each other to build community \n\nSpringfield College alumnus and former U.S. Olympian Tom Waddell ’59 was a champion of inclusion. He believed that sports—for all its inherently competitive nature—could be a unifying force. Indeed\, he lived his brief life with a conviction that sports could\, and should\, help to build community. \nOf course\, it doesn’t always work that way. Oftentimes\, sports serve as a wedge\, rather than as a bridge. Even at moments of triumph\, such as the recent gold medal victories by the U.S. women’s and men’s hockey teams in Italy\, we have seen where the sports culture can be used to divide\, rather than to unite. \nAt Springfield College\, competitive athletics are part of who we are—but through our Humanics philosophy\, we strive to make sport a powerful driver of connection and community. This year’s symposium brings that vision to life\, featuring a dynamic conversation with Women’s Basketball Head Coach Naomi Graves and Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mike McClendon. Also\, student-athletes from both teams will share how they are building a culture of mutual support. The event will also spotlight innovative efforts across the Department of Athletics that are strengthening community and redefining what it means to compete—together. \nAt the conclusion of the program\, one current Springfield College student-athlete will be recognized as the recipient of the Tom Waddell Leveling the Playing Field Award\, given annually to someone whose off-the-field commitments have helped build a more just society. \nThis event\, presented by the Division of Campus Life and Community Engagement and the Department of Athletics\, is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. \nFor more information\, please contact the Division of Campus Life and Community Engagement at campuslife@springfield.edu or (413) 748-3101. \nSupported by the Dr. Tom Waddell ’59 Fund.\nFind Out More About the Fund or Make Your Gift

SUMMARY:Philosophy and Religion Spring Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Windy City in the Vatican: What Happens When the Holy Father is a White Sox Fan\nPresented by Tim Dulle Jr.\, PhD\nExecutive Director of The Jesuit Center at the University of Scranton \nFor centuries\, the idea of an American Pope was considered a “dark horse” fantasy—a geopolitical impossibility. That changed on May 8\, 2025\, when Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago stepped onto the balcony as Pope Leo XIV. \nJoin Tim Dulle for a look at the “All-American Pope” that skips the dry hagiography and gets straight to the South Side roots. We’ll explore how a kid from Dolton\, Ill.\, went from teaching math at St. Rita High School to leader of 1.4 billion Catholics. Dulle will discuss how his choice of the name “Leo” is actually a radical nod to labor rights and the “Industrial Revolution” of AI. Whether you’re interested in global politics\, the future of the church\, or just want to know if the Vatican cafeteria is now serving Aurelio’s Pizza\, this talk will break down why having a Chicagoan in the Chair of Peter is the ultimate “local boy makes good” story. \nThis event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. \nIf you have a disability and require a reasonable accommodation to participate in these events\, please contact Wendy Franz at least two weeks before the event at wfranz@springfield.edu or (413) 748-3646\, to discuss your accessibility needs.
