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 BRENDAN CRONIN // MAY 10, 2012 // Lynn Zlotkowski has been rooting for the underdog as far back as she can remember. As academic success coordinator at Curry College, she continues to do so.

BY ERIN POWERS // MAY 8, 2012 // Yes, the title of my blog may be “Night in the Bean,” but summer is upon us and for many college students that can only mean one thing: day drinking. Sure, Boston at night is always a good time, but who doesn’t like an ice cold Harpoon […]
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.

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 VANESSA KELLY // MAY 4, 2012 // Finals are approaching and stress levels have shot up a ton. We are pulling all nighters and spending most of our time in our room or the library studying our butt off. Sleep is the last opinion, and it’s getting to be a problem. Girls, don’t worry […]
BY SEBASTIAN HUMBERT // MAY 4, 2012 // While some college students are enjoying the start of finals, others have given up, relying on thick pillows, the fetal position and memories of better (elementary school) days. Which brings me to 90s nostalgia. Arguably, the best part of the Internet is the ability to go back […]
BY BRITTANY JENNINGS // MAY 2, 2012 // The Annual Dance Performances will be held this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Keith Auditorium at Curry College. Admission is free, but you need to arrive early to get a great seat. At the end of each spring semester the Department of Fine and Applied […]

BY DANIELLE HAUSNER // APRIL 27, 2012 // As finals approach, time seems to be quickly dissipating for the opportunity to travel and have an adventure! Sure, as the workload builds up, longer travel period times do not seem to be an option. But day trips are the way to go to take a break […]

BY COURTNEY DIBIASIO // APRIL 25, 2012 // As the end of the semester approaches, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to participate in activities on campus. Until next year, nothing these last couple of weeks really compares to last week’s Spring Weekend. Campus activities are calming as finals week approaches. Then, finally, we all […]
BY ERIN POWERS // APRIL 23, 2012 // It’s hard to miss Curry’s alluring beauty when walking through campus on a spring day. However, it’s a different picture inside certain buildings. Last spring, President Ken Quigley announced a multimillion dollar academic facilities initiative to revamp the school’s teaching and learning spaces. One year later, the […]
BY BRITTANY JENNINGS // APRIL 20, 2012 // If you’ve ever taken a class in the Science Building, particularly in the basement, you probably got the sense that something smelled a little fishy. Or was it musty? Either way, it’s definitely funky. To be sure, the building needs far more than an air freshener. Constructed […]

BY VANESSA KELLY // APRIL 18, 2012 // As the weekend evening gets close to midnight, Curry’s Student Center cafe often sees fewer and fewer people. But it’s not necessarily because of a lack of hunger. Rather, most students simply don’t want to trudge down to the Student Center. So, Curry’s Dining Services is considering […]
