Answer the call!  Later this month the Springfield College Phonathon will kick off a new year. A current student will be calling to ask for your support of Leadership for the 21st Century: The Campaign for Springfield College. In this last year of the campaign, we invite everyone to be part of the excitement by giving what you can. Click here to see the impact of other contributions, resulting in the new Schoo-Bemis Science Center and the current construction of the Field House and the Wellness Center.  When your call comes, answer the phone and take a moment to talk with the student on the other end of the line and see how you can be a part of the future for Springfield College.
