Curry College ONE Leader in DC for Elite Student Summit |
|
 In January 2008, John Abdulla, ONE Chapter leader at Curry College joined more than 120 of the top student activists from colleges and universities all over the U.S. in Washington, D.C. for the first-ever ONE student summit. The three-day summit offered students the opportunity to meet some of the political and policy figures who've led the fight against extreme poverty and disease, including Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, the Council on Foreign Relations' Gene Sperling, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Paul Begala, political contributor and Democratic strategist on CNN's The Situation Room.
At the Power 100 Summit, students came together, to learn about ONE and hear from well-known speakers, activists and political leaders. The goal of the conference was to create lifelong activists. In the short term, students learned techniques that have been effective on college campuses nationwide to raise awareness about the fight against global poverty and disease, as well as acquire new ideas and polish their skills for the coming semester.
"I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the Power 100 Summit. I would never have the chance to see or interact with the speakers we heard or have the other opportunities we were given anywhere else. I will definitely apply what I learned at the Power 100 to what we're doing at Curry College," said John Abdulla, ONE Chapter Leader at Curry College. |

| Construction Update |
|
 This is an exciting time for our College as we eagerly anticipate the new Student Center. It is important to remember that there will be inconveniences associated with the construction. Work on the Student Center began on Monday, March 10. As explained in an email that went out to students prior to spring break, please be aware of the following changes.
- The Drapkin parking lot is closed and off line so that the work can begin on the Student Center.
- The road leading into Drapkin is closed and only used for construction vehicles and the campus shuttle.
- The hours of daily on campus shuttle have been extended. New hours are 8am- 7:30pm Monday -Friday.
- All members of the community who park in the Drapkin lot will need to park in the athletic lot.
- Parking is limited so we are asking all residents to use the shuttle and park in residential lots only.
We will make sure to keep the lines of communication open with you as the project progresses. In return, we ask that you remain aware of the changes and plan accordingly. We will continue to use the CAMPUS LINK e-newsletter and email to keep you updated on details related to the Student Center. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we enter a wonderful time in Curry's history. |
