Assumption students with the Vice President of Student Affairs. The Augustinians of the Assumption founded Assumption College in 1904, and its mission has been consistent since the beginning. Assumption, rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, strives to form graduates known for critical intelligence, thoughtful citizenship, and compassionate service.

Student Affairs staff support that mission throughout the residential and cocurricular aspects of student life. We plan and implement programs around a core set of principles so that we can light the way for Assumption students to achieve their full personal and academic potential.

The bell tower in front of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit has five bells that ring across campus. Our five principles do the same. We are very clear about our identity, which is grounded in the values and teaching of Catholicism, and, as a Catholic university, we believe that each student should be encouraged to explore and understand his or her personal faith tradition.

College is a time of tremendous personal growth for students. We look forward to working with each and every student at Assumption University as we grow together.

Warmest regards,

Ted Zito
Interim Dean of Students

Guiding Principles

Student Affairs staff support our mission throughout the residential and cocurricular aspects of student life on campus. We plan and implement programs around a core set of principles to help Assumption students achieve their full personal and academic potential.

The bell tower in front of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit has five bells that ring clearly across campus. Our five principles do the same. As a Catholic university, we are very clear about our identity. We are Catholic in our approach, and believe that each student should be encouraged to explore and understand his or her personal faith tradition.

Principle 1 – Community

Assumption University seeks to foster friendships among students that help individuals grow, and become better family members, thoughtful citizens, participants in communities of faith, and stewards of the earth.

Principle 2 – Contemplation

Assumption University provides opportunities for students to open their minds, reflect thoughtfully on their experiences, and grow in the spirit of gratitude and generosity.

Principle 3 - Longing for God

Assumption University encourages the development of a more fully formed conscience that will enable our graduates to lead a virtuous life, recognizing that conscience formation and the pursuit of truth occur over the course of a lifetime.

Principle 4 - Vocation

Assumption University works with students to help them identify their personal vocations and make thoughtful life choices.

Principle 5 – Mission to Serve

Assumption University encourages students to take bold action that reflects a generous heart and compassion for others.
