🎉 Celebrating 4 Years of Cassidy at the University YMCA! 🎉

Four years of leadership, energy, laughter, and community! 💙

As our Executive Director, Cassidy keeps things lively for staff and students while leading the University YMCA with a vision that goes far beyond a building, making it clear why the University YMCA has been here for the past decade. Under his leadership, the Y continues to be a place where students can connect, belong, grow, and feel at home — while creating space for community and for everyone.

Thank you, Cassidy, for bringing your energy, heart, and leadership to the University YMCA and for making the Y a place where community truly comes to life. Here’s to four incredible years and many more to come! 🥳🙌

Happy 4-Year Anniversary, Cassidy! 🎊
