But that never stopped Ryan Rawnsley or his younger sister, Bryanna, before. Rawnsley was then a rising senior at Curry College, […]
BY TAYLOR O’BRIEN // MAY 7, 2013 // This is the second in a series of profiles featuring graduating seniors. The road to West Virginia is a whole lot of nothing. On a good day, the sun might peak its head over the Appalachian Mountains, illuminating a rotten piece of road kill that lost its […]
BY KEVIN DIFFILY // MAY 6, 2013 // This is the first in a series of profiles featuring graduating seniors. A lot of people watch shows like “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” for entertainment. Joneiha Veiga, however, is more upset by them than entertained. “You see all these TV shows…and it gets me so […]
BY BRENDAN CRONIN // DEC. 12, 2012 // The saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is as old as it is cliché, but in the case of Professor Allan Hunter, it really is fitting. With gray curly hair and a British accent, he is a living caricature of an English literature professor. But […]
BY ANDREW BLOM // DEC. 11, 2012 // The next time you’re out and about on campus, be careful. You may find yourself stuck in the middle of a “dance off.” OK, the Jets and Sharks of Leonard Bernstein’s 1957 Broadway musical “West Side Story” aren’t around. Neither are the dance troupes of Austin Powers […]
BY VANESSA KELLY // MAY 15, 2012 // Professor Sanford Kaye, better known as Sandy, is a tall man with wispy white hair. On campus, he’s always dressed in a suit and is almost always sporting a smile. Kaye is something of an institution at Curry, where he has taught English and various writing courses […]
BY SEBASTIAN HUMBERT // MAY 15, 2012 // Lauren Holmes was a little late for an appointment. She had just finished auditioning for the chance to sing the national anthem at this year’s graduation. It’s something she did at her high school graduation and Holmes wanted one last chance to be heard at Curry. A […]
BY ANDREW BLOM // MAY 15, 2012 // On the front door of Caressa Kislus’s office, located on the second floor of the Student Center, is a poster that carries a quote from Mohandas Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” It’s a message aimed at those who enter her […]
BY COURTNEY DIBIASIO // MAY 15, 2012 // Jeremy Kittredge’s father, Dave, works in finance and even owns his own company in Pennsylvania. Financialfootprint.com is an online financial guide that helps young adults manage their money. But Kittredge, a sophomore at Curry, has no intention of joining the family business. There simply isn’t enough action. […]
BY BRANDAN BLOM // MAY 15, 2012 // It was a summer night in London. The wind was howling and the leaves on the trees were fighting for their lives. Up in her bedroom, a young Uzoamaka Melissa Anyiwo was oblivious to much of the noise. She was lost in yet another new book, this […]
BY MICHAEL WEISS // MAY 15, 2012 // We’ve all seen the typical “Hollywood” version of a librarian at one point or another. You know the one: an old, crotchety, gray-haired woman with horn-rimmed glasses who shooshes you to be quiet. To be sure, Benjamin Brudner isn’t out of Central Casting. But he’s also not […]
BY ANDREW BLOM // MAY 10, 2012 // “Wait, we have a duck over here,” said Jason Margeson. The 24-year-old, with arms the size of an ordinary man’s thigh, rose from a small blue chair that was built for a toddler. He then reached under a table to turn off a toy that someone had […]

BY DANIELLE HAUSNER // MAY 9, 2012 // What began as “just a job” ended up becoming Kendra Patick’s calling in life. As a freshman in high school, Patick landed a job at the Greenwood Nursing Home in Wakefield, Mass. Patick worked as an activities coordinator, planning BINGO contests, karaoke nights, crafts projects and spa […]
BY KEVIN DIFFILY // MAY 8, 2012 // Most college seniors hope to enter the workforce immediately after graduation. After putting four years of hard work toward their major, they cannot wait to actually land a job in their desired field. Michael Hibbard is not one of those seniors. The starting goalie on Curry’s men’s […]
BY SEBASTIAN HUMBERT // MAY 7, 2012 // Officer Kaylyn Gooley typically works the tough 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift at Curry College. On occasion, she also gets saddled with the midnight shift, which gets her home long after the sun has risen. Gooley is one of only three female Public Safety officers at […]
BY ERIN POWERS // MAY 7, 2012 // In just a few short weeks, this year’s graduates will cross a stage and receive a piece of paper that they have worked for since freshman year. Vernelle Smalls-Cardona will be among this year’s graduating class, and the accomplishment is no small feat. “To me, life is […]
BY NICK IRONSIDE // MAY 4, 2012 // One takes sandwich orders at the register. Another picks up the yellow Post-it note/order slip and starts putting turkey, provolone cheese and tomato on white bread. The third is wiping down tables. Although they’re usually on their feet, preparing and organizing food or cleaning the seating area, […]
BY ERIN POWERS // MAY 3, 2012 // Underneath a black Red Sox cap, Alex Danahy smiled from ear to ear as he talked about his plans to attend the 2012 home opener at Fenway Park. “I’ve always loved the sport, since back when I played T-ball,” said Danahy, a native of Hopkinton, Mass., who […]
BY ERIN POWERS AND ANDREW BLOM // APRIL 13, 2012 // With a number of things working against him, one Curry student will stop at nothing to finish what he has started.
