RECORD SETTING PHILANTHROPIC '03 SEEN AS BUILDING BLOCKPhilanthropically, FY 2003 will be remembered as an important foundation in creating a culture of philanthropy at Curry College. FY 2003 concluded with nearly $2.7 million in support for Curry College compared to a previous high of $900,000. This success is viewed as only the first of many building blocks in creating a highly successful fund raising program for Curry College in the months and years ahead. |

'03 -'04 Annual Fund Continues to Grow Alumni, parents, and friends of the College have been sent the 2003-2004 Annual Fund appeal and may have already heard from a Curry student through the Annual Fund Phone-A-Thon last fall or will likely receive a call in the coming weeks. "We are pleased with the ongoing support of a growing number of alumni and parents for the annual fund," noted Lynda Ardito, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, who is also responsible for the Annual Fund. "Regardless of the amount, each gift is important and appreciated since it all goes to the support of our students and our mission." If for some reason we have missed you or you misplaced the appeal, please contact Lynda at (617) 333-2121 or lardito@curry.edu to make your gift to the Annual Fund. Our students are counting on you. |

Named for former PAL faculty member, the David Van Someren Memorial Garden will be located behind the PAL building. Long time Building and Grounds staff member Al Lynch will be remembered through a campus beautification project. |
