Right on campus you’ll find countless sources of entertainment, action, and challenge. You can unwind at the Colonel’s Corner snack bar over a game of pool, meet friends at a movie night, just listen or take a turn behind the mic at a Coffeehouse or Comedy night. Later in the year, you can even enjoy the carnival atmosphere of Spring Fest and enjoy a few bands!
Life as a Curry student extends beyond the campus, too. You can hike or ski in the nearby Blue Hills Reservation, and will have easy access to big city excitement and resources just seven miles away in downtown Boston.
About the Office of Student Activities:
The Office of Student Activities and Orientation coordinates various co-curricular events on campus, working with student groups to maximize social, cultural, recreational, and educational activities for the college community. Particular emphasis is placed on students’ involvement in the planning process in order to allow for the development of leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, the office provides information and arranges trips for activities in the Boston area.
Students are highly encouraged to participate as involvement is highly beneficial to students. There are social, professional, and leadership development opportunities that will educate and inspire students. Through these opportunities, students will see values of social, intellectual, physical, spiritual and emotional growth through the vehicle of programming.

Monthly Activities Calendar
The Office of Student Activities publishes a calendar distributed to all students to assist you in planning and organizing your free time by listing the social activities and campus wide events you can attend. The calendar also helps students to plan programs at appropriate times for the college community. Check the Curry website, or stop by the office, for up-to-date listing of coming events.
Weekly Event Email
Every Wednesday, the Student Activities Office sends all Curry students, staff and faculty a detailed email listing all events happening over the weekend as well as the following week on campus. This email is a great way to let the community know what is happening on and off campus. If you have an event that you would like to see published in the Event Email, please email activities@curry.edu.
Orientation
Participating in Orientation events is a beneficial beginning to your college experience. Not only will you meet new people, experience, and participate in fun activities, but you will learn about Curry and opportunities to make your college experience the best it can possibly be. Following Orientation is Welcome Week, a series of programs for the entire college to build spirit and community. Look for the calendar of events on campus!
Community Service
Community service is a great way for students to learn and grow by actively participating in organized service experiences that successfully meets the needs of the greater community. Participating in community service provides students with opportunities through which they can reach out to the surrounding area and work to fight for social causes. Opportunities include tutoring children, Alternative Spring Break, working with hospice, one time service opportunities (for example: holiday programs such as a community Halloween party), etc.
ELITE
The E.L.I.T.E (Emerging Leaders Inspired To Excellence) Leadership Program is geared toward first year and sophomore students. The program will provide resources for students to identify their personal leadership style and teach them how to adapt and use it to be effective in their current and future leadership roles. The goal of the E.L.I.T.E program is to allow students to make the most of their co-curricular involvement and introduce them to the skills they need to be successful leaders.
