Action Shots
The 15th annual Humanics in Action Day, a Springfield College (SC) tradition, took place on Sept. 26. The event unites SC and its surrounding neighborhoods to work on community-service projects. Each year, about 2,000 students, faculty, staff, and alumni fan out across Springfield to read to children, clean up vacant lots, repair sidewalks, and generally make connections with the community.
