What our Alums tell us about their Assumption Experience:

"The degree itself is not the reward for me. The reward I gained was the experience as well as meeting so many wonderful people, teachers and students. I am proud for having stayed with it for so many years."

"Education druing my adult years has been the best thing in my life. AC offers a challenging program with high standards, and therefore turns out high-caliber graduates who aren't afraid of hard work. I'm proud to tell people that I'm a graduate of Assumption."

"Without my degree, I would not be in business for myself. The college education I received has given me the confidence to seek and do jobs I would not have considered or been considered for. Knowlege is definitely empowering."

"This diploma gave me a place in public accounting immediately - something that 17 years of experience couldn't do."

"My degree at Assumption enabled me to apply for my present position. It also gave me the confidence to apply. Ten years ago, I worked at minimum wage. Now I just started a new job at $55,000. I owe this to Assumption College."

"I feel compelled to write a few additional comments to your survey. Everything from the ease of registration, the faculty, the facilities, the atmosphere -- it's all superior at Assumption! Thanks for the experience and pass on my praise to all involved in your program."

"I have a higher level of self-esteem and confidence -- I am proud to be an Assumption graduate."

"At Assumption, I felt nurtured and supported by teachers and staff. The whole program seems focused on providing an atmosphere of respect, collaboration and challenge. The professors are secure in what they do, allowing them to really work with students in a way that fosters growth and self confidence in the adult student...Assumption ultimately gave me a sense of my own value and the value of my contribution and opinion, allowing me to expect the best from not only myself, but from those from whom I intend to learn."

"Getting an Assumption degree has had a major impact on my life in hundreds of ways. Assumption was the second most positive thing I ever did for myself."

"I love, love the CE program at Assumption. I am always telling people how good AC is to us 'older' students."

"I found the Center staff very, very helpful. Thanks!"

"My Assumption degree gave me both the business tools and the confidence to advance in my career. When I started my degree program, I was a teller; today I am a Senior Vice President for one of the largest financial institutions in New England."

"I have been attending CE at Assumption since 1994 and it has been a delight every step of the way. I have taken courses at other colleges and they are not nearly as accommodating, personable, and helpful as the Continuing Education department at Assumption."

"[my degree] taught me that I can achieve whatever I set out to do. Graduating summa cum laude was extremely rewarding for my ego. I was a great role model for my children - that was the best part!"
