Year in Review: Our Top 22 Stories of 2022

In 2022, Curry College celebrated growth, success, and change while being together as a community. Our students continued to excel in the classroom and in their internships, while our alumni made us proud in their dream jobs. We continued to expand our academic pathways with new majors, minors, and tracks, while offering exciting programming, initiatives, and partnerships.
