Curry College has announced a $10,000 reward for information connected to the latest incidents that have happened on campus.

“We cannot say enough: hate has no home here and we will take every step possible to identify the perpetrator(s) and maintain the safety of our community. Curry College is an inclusive community where embracing differences is essential to creating a safe and welcoming environment for exploration and learning, as well as personal and professional growth. It is, therefore, both enormously disheartening and disturbing that our school community continues to be violated by hateful symbols and threats.”
