EXCITING STUDENT OPPORTUNITY!

We have a very interesting production of ANTIGONE getting ready to run soon - live video feed, mask work, and great student actors!

We have need of someone to run the spotlight for the show - this is pretty easy, and an interesting theater tech job.

Please contact Professor Martin Shell with interest.

Scholars! We have some reading material in the Honors Commons you may want to check out before Monday--excerpts from the book FALLEN IDOLS, which includes a chapter on the confederate monuments that are the focus of THE NEUTRAL GROUND documentary. Drop by and have a skim!

SAVE THE DATES for two great events happening next week!

New date! Make sure you submit and tell your friends to send in their writing and art submissions!

Please join us in congratulating Mikaili Charlemagne for receiving a John Wilson Book Scholarship! Wilson’s legacy is that of guiding students to be the best they could be and more and Mikaili certainly embodies this.

A little about Mikaili — I am currently a junior in the Health Science program. I am an international student from St. Lucia. I am a member of the Women’s Swimming and Diving Team, the co-president for the International Students Organization, an E-board member for Student Ambassadors, and the treasurer for the Health Science Club. I am also a member of the Y-Club and Black Student Union. I enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences. This is one of the reasons why I have enjoyed my time at Springfield College because there are many opportunities where students can explore new opportunities.

One more performance! Don’t miss it Sunday at 3pm! Feels so good to be performing onstage in front of a live audience again💕 photo credit: Paul Schnaittacher

CALL FOR ARTISTS - ARTIST IN RESIDENCY PROGRAM

The US Forest Service Urban Field Station Artist Residency Program is a year-long residency for artists, of all disciplines, created by the Forest Service, ReGreen Springfield, the City of Springfield and The Nature of Cities. Artists engage with land managers and researchers to better understand, represent, and communicate about urban social- ecological systems through works of art and imagination.

The program’s mission is to promote understanding of and engagement with urban ecology through art. The Urban Field Station Network understands cities as social-ecological systems, and this year’s call for artists focuses on the theme of connectivity.

One artist will be selected for a year-long residency at the US Forest Service’s Amherst-Springfield Urban Field Station. The residency is dedicated to a local artist currently living in the metro area of Springfield, MA. Duration is 12 months, beginning in January 2022. The selected artist will work with the Forest Service in arranging the specific start date of the residency based on their desired time and availability.

A $3,000 stipend will be awarded to the Artist in Residence. Forest Service researchers as well as staff from ReGreen Springfield and the Springfield Parks Department, including ecologists, scientists, naturalists and forest managers are able to provide guidance and support of Artist in Residency projects. Staff are available to assist but not responsible for creating or installing the work. It is expected that high profile public and private events, exhibits, performances and classes will promote awareness of the urban landscape, while promoting the work of the artist and the Residency program.
