Our new Greater Springfield Travel Guide will be released this week. We have completely changed the concept and execution of the Guide to include:

  • A "Field Notes" style and size to make the Guide a more convenient resource when visitors are in-market
  • A more illustrative look which adds a different dynamic to the Guide
  • Improved "street level" mapping
  • QR codes to drive visitors to our digital content platforms

We will print 15,000 copies of the Guide to be distributed at our visitor experience center (Champion City Guide + Supply), local and Columbus-area hotels, regional attractions including Young's, and interstate travel information centers. Look for it soon!

DOWNTOWN MODERN HAPPY HOUR TOUR
(meet at Commerce Pointe Atrium)

In the 1960s and 1970s, a new vision for a vibrant downtown materialized through a series of structures that remain today as an enduring imprint of the modern era in Springfield. Join us as we examine the buildings that redefined the downtown experience, from the elegant minimalism of SOM’s Credit Life Tower to the sleek expressionism of Alfred Shaw’s Key Bank Building. This tour is offered through the Westcott Center for Architecture + Design and led by Kevin Rose. Kevin serves in a dual role of Historian and Director of Revitalization for the Turner Foundation in Springfield, Ohio.
 
Light hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
Member Fee: $20 Early Bird, $25 Day of Event

The Magnify Internship Interview Day was a success. Twenty students from across Clark County completed the Magnify Internship Training Program and interviewed for local summer internships on May 3.

Nearly 20 employers submitted internship postings. Internship opportunities were submitted in a variety of industries including human services, engineering, government and public administration, and health care. Employers commented on the how impressed they were with the students they interviewed, and several employers mentioned adding more internship positions than expected due to the high quality of candidates they interviewed.

Internships will last 8 -12 weeks and begin once school is out for summer. Employers can begin submitting internships for summer 2023 next fall.
