When Lyn Simmons '03 first came to the Longmeadow campus in 2001, she had no idea that she would return fifteen years later as Longmeadow’s Town Manager. Upon graduating with a Legal Studies degree, Lyn was offered a job with the Springfield law firm that was also her intern site, but it didn’t take long for her to realize that a big law firm wasn’t where she belonged. She yearned to work directly with clients and to make a real difference. Soon, she found herself in an area she had never before considered: municipal government. That change in industry has led to a lifelong career filled with a passion for making a difference for the residents and business owners of the community which she helps lead.
