Students from SUNY Oneonta met online with alumni Heidi Schulman-Cohen '81 and Carol Silverman '83 on March 8 for the college's Goodrich to Broadway creative alumni networking event.

Heidi Shulman-Cohen has been working on costumes and wardrobe in the film and television industry for over 30 years. Her resume includes such features as "Sleepless In Seattle," "Hand That Rocks The Cradle," "Angel Heart," "Big Daddy," "Captain Ron," and "The Professional." She has also been a part of such blockbusters as "As Good As It Gets," "Independence Day," "Godzilla," and "Quiz Show." Her television work includes serving as wardrobe supervisor on the longest-running show in broadcast history, "Guiding Light."
