Curry College proudly gathered to celebrate Homecoming and Family Weekend 2025 for three days of connection, campus pride, and community spirit. The celebration blended spirited athletic competition, academic showcases, and heartfelt reunions, capped off by a record-breaking performance on the football field that made this year’s event one to remember.
Connection, Celebration, and Curry Spirit
After a pair of soccer games on Katz Field opened the weekend, Saturday brought a full slate of activities that showcased both the academic and social sides of the Curry experience. The morning began with a women’s tennis match and a Family Reception alongside a Visual and Performing Arts Exhibition in the Shelley Hoon Keith Gallery.
Alumni from the Classes of 2015, 2000, and 1975 gathered for a warm Reunion Brunch at the President’s House, while academic departments across campus welcomed visitors for open houses and meet-and-greets with faculty. Taylor Nault ’25 returned to campus to speak on behalf of the PAL program and delivered a heartfelt speech on how Curry changed her life.
In the Student Center Fireplace Lounge, the Curry Choir and Dance students performed an intimate Arts Welcome, while outside, Westhaver Park buzzed with autumn energy at the annual Fall Fest, complete with food trucks and family activities.

A Groundbreaking Performance
The highlight of the afternoon came as the Curry Football team took the field against Nichols College—and made history. Cheered on by a packed crowd of students, families, and alumni proudly wearing purple, senior running back Montie Quinn set a new NCAA single-game rushing record with an astounding 522 yards and seven touchdowns on just 20 carries. The Colonels won 71-27, and the crowd erupted as Quinn surpassed the 500-yard mark—becoming the first college football player at any level to do so.

Taylor Nault '25Being at Homecoming and Family Weekend brought back so many memories-the long days, the laughter, and the feeling of community that makes this place so special. It’s hard to believe I just graduated a couple of months ago, and how much time has passed since then-but in many ways, it feels like no time at all. Curry will always feel like home.
Reflecting and Giving Back
Dozens gathered on the Curry walking trails on Sunday morning for the annual Charity Hike benefiting the EvvGirl Foundation, held in memory of alumna Evan Bard ’14.
From the booming cheers at Katz Field to quiet conversations over coffee, Homecoming and Family Weekend 2025 celebrated everything that makes Curry special-the people, the pride, and the sense of belonging that lasts long after graduation.
