Improvements Slated for the D. Forbes Will Athletic Complex

At its Fall 2003 meeting, the Curry College Board of Trustees focused on the future and overall student athletic needs when they approved plans to build the Walter M. Katz Field at the D. Forbes Will Athletic Complex. Partially funded through a philanthropic gift from former Chairman of the Board Dr. Eleanor M. Katz and her son Walter M. Katz '89, the new "Field-Turf " field will be used by the football team, men's and women's soccer, lacrosse programs, and baseball and softball team practice and intramurals. Improvements slated for Phase I of this project include a new all-purpose surface on the main playing field; new home-side spectator stands to accommodate twice the number of fans; a new, technologically smart press box; and lights to allow for night games and practices. Phase II plans call for the construction of a concession area, restroom facilities, and improvements to the other fields. Phase III will focus on rebuilding the parking lot and completing the field improvements including in-ground sprinklers for all game and practice fields. The new field will be complete for the 2004-2005 year with a dedication ceremony scheduled for Homecoming on Saturday, October 16, 2004. Plan now to join us.

Curry Rated "Investment Grade" By Wall Street

After facing significant financial challenges just eight years ago, Curry has emerged as a fiscally strong, growing,"investment grade"entity. In Spring 2003, as part of the process to secure bonds for the construction of the South Campus Residence Hall, the College's bonds received an investment grade rating from Wall Street's Standard & Poors. This speaks well to every aspect of Curry and reflects a College that is exceptionally wellmanaged and growing significantly in size and stature.
