Springfield College men's gymnastics team Humanics in Action Day hugging in woods
Description:
A photograph of members of the Springfield College men's gymnastics team in the woods on Humanics in Action Day. The members have their arms around each other, or are hugging, and they appear to be playing some type of game. Springfield College initiated Humanics in Action Day in September 1998. It was the idea of Springfield Professor of Humanics Peter Polito and leaders of the New Student Orientation program to revive and expand an event described in the 1918 Springfield College yearbook. In the early years of the college, students volunteered and worked together to provide service to the neighboring communities. During the annual event, students, faculty, staff, and alumni perform a day of community service throughout the city of Springfield.
