Summer Writing?

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 Curry College Application. Our application asks you to choose from one of the following questions:

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!

Summer @ Curry

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.

In May, the campus gathered to celebrate a groundbreaking ceremony for our new student center. Be sure to read about all the incredible features our center will house.

Already in June, we have begun welcoming Curry's Class of 2012! The first new student orientation was held this past weekend, with two more sessions to be held in the coming weeks. These new students and their families bring excitement and rejuvenation to all of us at Curry.

And in July and August, we will be holding our annual Explore Curry Days (ECD) for high school seniors. We are now accepting reservations - so all you seniors out there make sure to mark your calenders! Here is the link with more details.

Till next time...stay cool and be sure to check out this video made by students in our Communications program!
