Before a crowd of thousands, Robert Lewis Jr. shared his life story of struggle and achievement while inspiring the Class of 2019 to live a life of meaning during the institution’s 102nd Commencement on Sunday, May 12, at the DCU Center in downtown Worcester where hundreds of students gathered together.
In 1969, Assumption admitted the first coeducational class in the institution’s history. Here, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the September that changed history. Although the institution first admitted female undergraduates 50 years ago, they have established a legacy of confident leaders and athletes, researchers and successful entrepreneurs.
Assumption continues to strengthen its commitment to students’ understanding of the wider world in which they live, with its new global studies center. The program helps students understand how countries across the globe are linked together ecologically, economically, geographically, and politically. Students are closed linked now with the new Center.
Assumption is collaborating with a variety of generous partners to put college within reach for many families. Alex Richardson, a “first generation American” of immigrant parents never counted on college; his initial plan was to go straight to the police academy shortly after high school, but summer baseball changed him.
