A WORDfrom the PresidentLast month, I wrote to each constituent group that collectivelycomprises the Curry College community to address the state of ourCollege in light of the world economic crisis. In those reports, I spokeof the generally good fiscal health of our Institution as a result of ouraccomplishments in recent years and of both the benefits and, intoday’s environment, incredible challenges of being a tuition-driveninstitution.Today’s students and families face significant challenges in funding the cost of a private education.As a community, we must work together to address issues of access and affordability so thatcurrent and future generations of able and ambitious Curry College students may take advantageof tremendous new opportunities for academic, career and personal success.Over the past year, our students, faculty and staff have seized many new opportunities, andwe’re pleased to present their resulting success in this edition of Curry Magazine.We achieved two very significant academic milestones when we welcomed Dr. David Potashas our new Chief Academic Officer, and received approval from the Massachusetts Department ofHigher Education (DHE) for our College’s fourth graduate degree program, a Master of Sciencein Nursing (MSN). A DHE award of a human patient simulator further enhanced our nursingprogram, and new technology and equipment in the psychology lab puts us on the cutting edgein the field of psychophysiology. Today, as we did over 75 years ago when our broadcastingprogram began, we seize opportunities to use advanced technology in our curriculum to better ourstudents’ educational experience.Construction on our new Student Center project continues, and we look forward to betteringour students’ living and learning experience when this multi-faceted facility opens for full servicein Fall 2009. Naming opportunities remain for the new Student Center, and we are pleasedto honor Douglas A. and Claire R. King by naming the newly renovated and expanded facility at55 Atherton Street the King Academic Administration Building in recognition of and gratitude fortheir philanthropic support.Philanthropic support through participation in this year’s Annual Fund is an investment thatwe hope all alumni, parents and good friends of our great College will consider. It is an investmentthat helps us fund scholarship and financial aid programs, academic and faculty initiatives, andtechnology and facilities improvements – and provides returns to both students and alumnithrough the ever-increasing value of a Curry College degree.Personally and on behalf of the faculty and staff of Curry College, and, most importantly, ourstudents, I thank you for your continued involvement and investment in our mutual success.CURRY MAGAZINEPRESIDENTKenneth K.
