2025 Alumni Weekend
Come Home to Cushing!
Where can I stay off-campus?
A limited number of rooms have been reserved at the Colonial Hotel in Gardner at a discounted rate for those wishing to stay off-campus. To book, please contact the Colonial Hotel directly and mention Cushing Alumni Weekend (special thanks to owner Nicole Xarras Moorshead ‘89).
We also recommend the Maguire House in Ashburnham or the DoubleTree in Leominster. Be sure to make your reservations soon!
What's included in the on-campus lodging option?
Your bed will come with linens, a light blanket, a towel, and a pillow, and your room will include a desk lamp and a trash can. You may want to bring an extra blanket, pillow, and a fan for added comfort. A limited supply of toiletries is available in our bookstore, so please plan accordingly.
What if I have dietary concerns or restrictions?
If you did not indicate any dietary concerns or restrictions on your reservation form, are unsure if you did so, or would like to have a more detailed conversation with our catering staff, please contact Deonne Johnson in the Advancement Office at (978) 827-7400.
What should I wear during the Weekend?
Please keep in mind that our campus is hilly, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes throughout the day. Many attendees dress up for Saturday evening’s Grand Celebration reception and dinner, and of course, for dancing!
What if I have mobility issues?
If you anticipate any difficulties this weekend that require extra support, please call us at (978) 827-7400 or email [email protected].
Where can I park on campus?
Parking will be allowed on one side of the campus with the other clearly marked as closed off to parking for safety. Parking is available at the upper and lower rink lots, and the lower lots on Pleasant Street.
What kind of transportation will be available?
You will notice a number of friendly staff members on golf carts eager to provide you with a lift. If you are staying at the Colonial Hotel in Gardner, we are running a shuttle back and forth but only at select times, with information posted at the registration table and at the Colonial Hotel front desk.
Please note that Uber and taxi cab services are very scarce in the area. A number of private car and limousine companies service the area and private transportation can be arranged with them. For more information please contact the Office of Advancement at (978) 827-7400.
Cushing is offering transportation to South Station in Boston on Sunday morning at 10:30 am. You must register in advance and there is a $25 fee for this service.
