Springfield College Alumni News and Obituaries

Springfield College Communications/Sports Journalism graduate Danny Priest ’21 recently visited campus during the 2024 Spalding Hoophall Classic at Blake Arena. Priest is currently a member of the digital content team for 3STEP Sports in Andover, Mass., a youth sports club and events operator, with more than 2,500 events annually. 3STEP Sports provides services to more than one million athletes, representing nine different sports.

Priest’s primary focus is within 3STEP’s football vertical, and he runs social media for the UCReport, college football’s premier scouting database. Through their exclusive camps and events, they provide clients with verified testing data and measurables, as well as HD quality camp cutups of all reps taken. All data and events are proprietary. 

The skills that Priest developed in writing, reporting, and sourcing as a COSJ major have assisted in his development and success with 3STEP Sports.

“My time at Springfield College was great, and I did learn so many skills I am using every day at 3STEP,” explained Priest. “I learned it’s important to know who you are talking to, and that taught me how crucial it is to build strong relationships. People will always remember the impact you had on them. So many people at Springfield helped me in my journey, and I have been able to build those strong relationships with faculty, staff, alumni and current students. The relationship building process is something that I have carried into the professional world.”

At Springfield College, we teach our students about the value of building your professional network while you’re here so you can lean on that support once you leave Alden Street. Our Athletic Training students understood the assignment, and leaned in and engaged with many alumni and AT professionals in early January at the Eastern Athletic Trainers' Association Conference. There's no doubt that experience will positively impact both the students and alums long after the conference!

Springfield College Alumni Spotlight - Meet Cameron Borges '23. Cam is one of those people who truly made the most of his Springfield College experience. During his student days, Cam could be found on the football field, serving Student Government and SALT, founding the Minds in Motion club, attending alumni and student networking events and learning the ins and outs of the sport management field through various volunteer and internship experiences. All of these experiences and Cam's hard work led him to a position with Legends, as an Account Executive at the Dallas Cowboys. Recently, Cam announced he is headed back to Massachusetts as the Director of Football Operations at the College of the Holy Cross.

"Springfield College holds a special place in my heart as a transformative environment where I've grown into the person I am today. My journey on Alden Street was marked by moments of success, failure and invaluable lessons that shaped me as a young man. The unwavering support from faculty, staff, alumni and dear friends has been instrumental in my journey. Beyond the physical campus, the relationships forged at Springfield are enduring, becoming connections that will last a lifetime. I am profoundly grateful for my Springfield College experience and it will always be a place I consider home," shared Borges.

When you ask our current students what sets Springfield College apart, they will almost always respond by saying it’s the people that make this such a special place. The best part is that it doesn't change when you graduate and become an alum. Thank you to our alumni who attended our New Haven event at East Rock Brewing for making any room feel like home as long as there are Springfield College people in it.

Springfield College Alumni Spotlight - Young Alumna Sabrina Moore '23 is a graduate student at New York University. A history major during her days at SC, Sabrina is currently an Archive Intern at the American Museum of Natural History's Vertebrate Paleontology Department as part of an Institute of Museum and Library Services funded project.

"Springfield College has prepared me for this opportunity at the American Museum of Natural History by being the first place in which I was able to work in an archive and learn first hand some of the beauties and struggles of being an archivist. Working with people like Jeff Monseau, the head archivist for the college, for almost four years as an undergraduate solidified my desire to work in the archival field. Springfield College to me means an everlasting community. I have met amazing people at SC and I hope to continue these connections for years to come."

Sabrina Moore we are excited to see what your future holds!
