Go Colonels!
This fall we have been treated to brightly colored leaves, blue skies, and the occasional pick-up wiffle ball game.
Following a feature article in the Boston Globe this summer, ONE Curry continues to be recognized both in our home state and throughout the country!

With the Fall academic semester approaching fast, I am reminded that the Fall athletic season will also begin shortly. During the Fall season, Curry competes in men's football and soccer, and women's cross country, soccer, and tennis. A complete Fall athletic schedule can be found here. The annual Purple & White football scrimmage will be held at 2:30 on August 23rd, with the opening home game of the 2008 season to be held on September 13th. The football team is coming off its fifth consecutive NEFC Championship and made its fifth-straight appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament. Clearly, there is no better time to catch the Curry Colonels!
As we head into the middle of summer and indulge in the time-honored tradition of summer reading, let me propose another useful activity: summer writing. Before you begin your busy senior year, take some time to get a head start on your college applications. And, as a special treat to my dedicated readers here at the Curry College Admission Blog, I'm going to reveal the essay questions found on the
1. Describe your most significant success, failure, or personal experience to date. How has it affected your life?
2. Choose an issue of international, local, or national concern that is of special interest to you. Describe your position on the issue and how you would resolve it.
3. Tell us of a person who has had a significant influence on your life and describe the way in which this person has affected you.
So remember to bring some paper and a pencil along with your clunky copy of The Grapes of Wrath to the beach this summer. Happy writing!
It has been a busy start to the summer here in Milton. The feeling on campus has been one of change. As 754 students received their diplomas and looked to the future, so did the Curry Community.

Today Curry welcomed the crew from YOUniversity TV to campus. This Florida based company provides prospective students with online video tours of college campuses. They made the trip to Milton as part of their national tour. Curry was their first stop in Massachusetts and will be featured on their website soon! We enjoyed taking the hosts, Chloe and Lavaughn, around on this unusually cold May day. Highlights included meeting the Curry Colonel, playing football on the Walter M. Katz Field, and sitting behind the news desk of Curry Channel 8. Did you know that Curry College is one the first colleges in the country to offer HDTV instruction? This is one of the many cool facts that was covered during the tour. So check back in the coming months for a link to the video!
