THIS IS US

Assumption University’s faculty are a dynamic community of teacher-scholars who are dedicated to their students’ success. Professors work to instill a lifelong passion for learning in their students through engaged lessons in the classroom, as well as by sharing their expertise with the world through publications and other scholarly work, such as important research in which students are frequently invited to assist and participate. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic over the last two academic years, Assumption faculty continued to mentor their students in the classroom as well as publish academic work. Below is a snapshot of faculty scholarship at Assumption for the 2019–20 and 2020–21 academic years.
