Office of Human Resources

We are proud to call ourselves the Assumption University Community. Our Community encompasses students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, Augustinians of the Assumption, and Assumptionist Sisters. The employees of this community are all considered educators.

Assumption, a liberal arts and professional studies university, lies at the center of Massachusetts in the City of Worcester. The campus is approximately three miles from the downtown area. Its location in Central Massachusetts among 15 other colleges and universities, affords employees many academic, cultural and social advantages. In addition, Worcester has many fine facilities and programs, including an outstanding, nationally known art museum and music festival, a symphony orchestra and science museum. Worcester has a large public school system and several excellent private elementary and secondary schools. Facilities for winter and summer sports and for all sorts of recreational activities abound in Worcester and vicinity. Proximity to the cities of Boston and Springfield (approximately one hour by car) add numerous opportunities to those available locally.

The Office of Human Resources handles all employee benefits as well as the hiring of faculty, staff and administration.
