“To say I enjoyed my time as an art and design student at Springfield College would be an understatement. I continually felt supported by my professors and peers in my choice to pursue a career in the arts. The professors are not only excellent instructors, but also working artists that offer professional expertise, artistic knowledge, and consistent encouragement. For my senior show, I had the opportunity to create six-foot-tall abstract paintings, which was an exciting way to culminate all that I had learned in my undergraduate experience. My time in this major was very impactful on my growth as an artist, student, and person.” Heidi Schuman ’22
