Assumption College Announces New Mission Statement

December, 2004—Following a thorough and thoughtful campus-wide discussion for the past year and emanating from the Strategic Planning Commission of 2003-04, the Assumption College Board of Trustees approved the following mission statement at its December 11, 2004 meeting:

Assumption College, rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, strives to form graduates known for critical intelligence, thoughtful citizenship and compassionate service. We pursue these ambitious goals through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts but extending to the domain of professional studies. Enlivened by the Catholic affirmation of the harmony of faith and reason, we aim, by the pursuit of the truth, to transform the minds and hearts of students. Assumption favors diversity and ecumenically welcomes all who share its goals.
