Three generations of Springfield College alumni were represented recently at the YMCA of Frederick County’s Annual Meeting in Frederick, Maryland.

Emma Rodgers ’07 (Director of Health and Wellness), Tim Dunn ’98 (Vice President of Facilities and Information Technology), and Richard Foot ’68 (YMCA Volunteer and member of YMCA Alumni - New England Chapter), came together for the event, which highlighted the YMCA’s impact in the community and featured the presentation of the Association’s Philanthropist of the Year award. Though their class years span nearly four decades, all three share common professional roots in the YMCA movement and the human-centered mission that Springfield College has championed since its founding.

Moments like this reflect the enduring reach of Springfield’s legacy in leadership, service, and social responsibility—and the way alumni continue to cross paths in organizations dedicated to strengthening communities and improving lives.
