Bring your family and spend a Saturday morning with us.
Discover Assumption is a series of events — each one with a specific academic focus.
We start with breakfast and a discussion about what a liberal arts education looks like at Assumption.
Then it’s time to focus – this is your opportunity to connect with the faculty teaching the majors you are interested in and get your questions answered.
All events include a student-led campus tour that will allow us to show off our beautiful 185-acre campus and will feature stops in academic buildings, residential halls, athletic facilities, and so much more. There’s no better way to experience campus than by walking the paths and hallways with a current student.
See what makes our community so special. Two hours, and you’ll know – register now.

Research You Do, Not Research You Watch
Assumption students can spend paid summers working ten weeks alongside a professor on real research. As undergraduates. With their names on it.
