A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT At the heart of the mission of Assumption College is a call to not only form graduates known for critical intelligence, but to also impart upon them the altruistic values of thoughtful citizenship and compassionate service.

As a Catholic college, Assumption holds strong to its beliefs, to its traditions and to its values. At the core of those is the idea that there is no better use of our time, indeed, no better use of a life, than helping others. This call to serve is one of the core principles guiding our philosophy on education and how we choose to live.

The desire to help those in need is a vital element informing the mission of a number of our student organizations, including Campus Ministry, the Student Government Association, the Reach Out Center, and Assumption Athletics. It is embodied by our Community Service Learning curriculum and Human Service and Rehabilitation Studies programs – and it is an important part of who we are.

The academic mission of a college flourishes in an environment where students and faculty are actively engaged in the learning process and where opportunities are provided to students to expand their horizons and develop their full potential. A college education is not conducted in a vacuum, nor should it be – to reduce the human experience to facts and theories renders the endeavor meaningless. Instead it is the goal of a liberal arts education to help students understand how the world works, how their friends and neighbors live, and how they can contribute to the common good.

At Assumption, students are challenged to discover their gifts and talents and in return use those gifts to make a positive difference in the world. As you will read in the following pages, our students have embraced this responsibility. Be it through assisting the elderly with free tax preparation, volunteering at a senior citizen center, or shoveling snow from fire hydrants to help keep a neighborhood safe, Assumption students rise to the task of extending a helping hand to the city they are proud to call home for four years.

On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of Assumption College, I am pleased to share this 2014-2015 Community Benefits Report, an overview of the 137,000 hours of community service performed by Assumption students during the last year and a proud testament to what it means to be a member of the Assumption community and a contributing member of the greater Worcester community.

Sincerely,

“At Assumption, students are challenged to discover their gifts and talents and in return use those gifts to make a positive difference in the world.”

HELPING hands COMMUNITY SERVICE IS A POPULAR ACTIVITY among Assumption College students. It enhances students’ liberal arts education and creates an on-campus environment that inspires civic responsibility and community action.

Along with assisting others, the event aimed to instill a lifelong commitment to community service. “We want to develop the students’ mission to serve so they will continue to live that mission after they graduate,” said Dean of Student Life Conway Campbell.

Students at Assumption helped out in the greater Worcester community throughout the 2014-15 academic year, volunteering their free time and talents with more than 50 organizations including Matthew 25, Habitat for Humanity, and Community Harvest Project.

After receiving area assignments and instructions, the student volunteers were thanked by city of Worcester Project Manager Che Anderson. “Your effort gets the community members excited and invested,” said Anderson. “It shows them that if other people are willing to come here and take care of this area then maybe they will do the same thing and clean up a little more or be more aware of what is going on in their neighborhood.”

Sporting “Assumption Loves Worcester” T-shirts, the students spread out between Vernon Hill Park (which includes two baseball fields, a softball field, a playground and the Dennis F. Shine, Jr. Memorial Swimming Pool) and the grounds of the Worcester Senior Center.

180 STUDENTS SPRUCE UP VERNON HILL AREA DURING ANNUAL WORCESTER DAY OF SERVICE For the second consecutive year, 180 Assumption College student leaders participated in the College’s annual Worcester Day of Service in August.

Representatives from Campus Activities Board, Residential Life, the Student Government Association and other clubs, gathered together a few days before classes started to weed and clean up trash in and around Vernon Hill Park and the nearby Worcester Senior Center along Providence Street.

“This event shows that Assumption truly cares about Worcester,” said Katie Knox ’17 of Sturbridge. “We’re demonstrating that we’re not just living in our own ‘bubble.’ It shows that we want to help, which is why we visit different areas of Worcester to do what we can to assist the community.”

After learning about the demographics of Worcester’s economically challenged Vernon Hill area the previous night, Derek Pettinelli ’17 of Southbridge, was proud to help. “I’m a big fan of the city,” said Pettinelli. “I went to Holy Name High School and it’s nice to come here and help out at a place that people use regularly and reminds me of home.”

“I like the idea of all the student leaders getting together to make an impact,” said Christine Mulvey ’17

of Merrimack, N.H. “I realize what Assumption has given to me and I like the idea of giving back to the community.”

Ian Burns ’18 of North Andover echoed those sentiments and felt it was important to take pride in Worcester. “This is our home” said Burns. “It’s important to help take care of the city that we live in.”

“I hope that we, as one of several colleges to assist in the community, create a domino effect to help Worcester,” remarked Jeff Letourneau ’17 of Methuen, who had worked on similar service projects through the College’s Reach Out Center and is a Big Brother to a Flagg Street School student.

It was this knowledge that ‘every little bit helps’ that inspired students. “With something as simple as pulling the weeds from a walkway at the senior center, we’re helping to make this area more beautiful and enjoyable for everyone,” Jackie Chirco ’17 of Hopkinton shared.

“This is making an impact on the community,” Taunton’s Chris Leonetti ’18 concluded. “It shows people what we are able to accomplish if we all work together.”

WARM HEARTS

By Molly Sweeney ’16

THE 2014-15 WINTER WAS THE THIRD SNOWIEST ON RECORD with 119.2 inches and February set a record for the snowiest month with 53.4 inches – after 46.5 inches had already fallen in January.

Following a series of weekly storms – including a blizzard – in both January and February 2015, Worcester became the nation’s “snowiest city in the United States.”

With resources stretched thin, city officials called upon the community and area colleges for assistance in clearing snow away from fire hydrants. Assumption College was among Worcester’s institutions of higher learning that responded to the city’s request.

Members of the Hounds’ field hockey and men’s and women’s soccer teams grabbed their shovels and showed their support for the city that has become their home away from home. Though it was hard, cold work they were all happy to help out.

“Giving back to Worcester always makes me feel like I am part of the community,” said Meghan Sullivan ’17, a Worcester native. “It is easy to get off campus for a few hours and do something that helps a person you may not even know. It makes you a better person. It makes us a better team.”

Head Field Hockey Coach Ann Leahy echoed Sullivan’s willingness to lend a hand. “Being a Worcester native, I really enjoy the opportunities we have to help out in the city,” she said, adding that they’ve found other ways to help as well. “We’ve also volunteered as AVID tutors in Worcester Public Schools and helped the Friendly House prepare for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and painted its float,” Leahy noted.

For the students, being active in the Worcester community is an important part of their Assumption College experience. “It is important to remember we are part of this city and community,” said Sullivan.

“Our community service is part of what has made my experience at Assumption special.”

“Giving back to Worcester always makes me feel like I am part of the community. It is easy to get off campus for a few hours and do something that helps a person you may not even know. It makes you a better person. It makes us a better team.”

“Community service is an integral part of our program and it is essential for my players to realize their role in the larger community,” agreed Leahy.

COMMUNITY RESOURCE Assumption proactively seeks to engage with the community and encourages members of the community to visit the campus for events and programs.

Undergraduate and graduate students contribute to the vitality and well-being of the greater Worcester region through many internships, practicums and capstone projects.

offering a LEG UP In July, Assumption College’s Department of Athletics and Recreation donated more than 50 pairs of athletic shoes and cleats to Special Olympics Massachusetts, to be used by athletes in their programs throughout the state.

Special Olympics Massachusetts, based in Marlborough, provides year-round sports training, athletic competition and other health-related programming for athletes with intellectual disabilities throughout the Commonwealth. The organization’s programs focus on real sports experience, transformative education, sustaining athlete health and community building and fundraising.

“Assumption College is proud to support the dedicated athletes of Special Olympics Massachusetts,” said Assumption College President Francesco C. Cesareo, Ph.D., who joined Terry Keilty, vice president of communities and program for Special Olympics Massachusetts, for the donation ceremony. “Special Olympics instills in its athletes the confidence to succeed on the field of play and in all aspects of life. The determination of the athletes to overcome their physical challenges inspires us as they embrace athletic competition and demonstrate the values of good sportsmanship.”

creating FELLOWSHIP

By Molly Sweeney ’16

Grafton’s Community Harvest Project (CHP) brings volunteers together to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for hunger relief and, in their own words, “build an engaged and healthier community.” This May, the organization honored the students of Assumption College’s Graphic Design III course, taught by Professor Kate Egnaczak, as “Volunteers of the Month” for their work in reimagining the logo for the CHP’s annual Plantapalooza event.

Many non-profit organizations face a need for pro bono graphic design work. Graphic design is a skill that is much sought after for promotion of everything from programs to fundraisers, yet rarely is there the budget to afford an in-house designer, leaving organizations with a significant need for design talent.

The redesign process began with all 18 students designing an idea for the logo and pooling their talents to determine a favorite. Ultimately, a design by Alexandra Ferreira ’15 featuring a tomato plant being transplanted by a red wagon was chosen. Students then worked together to develop a campaign, which included designing a postcard mailer, a flyer, and a poster that would be distributed throughout the community.

WORKPLACE COLLABORATION Through internships, practica and work study programs, Assumption students partner with Worcester-area businesses and organizations in a mutually beneficial collaboration that helps both parties reach their full potential.

Here are some of the organizations that benefit from these partnerships:*

learning and DOING Throughout the year, Assumption College students take part in internship opportunities at organizations across Worcester County. These internships provide local businesses and organizations additional resources for little to no cost, while allowing students to gain valuable work experience.

Last summer, Emiangely Fernandez ’16 interned in the Worcester County District Attorney’s office. She supported the homicide and crime division in a number of capacities, including attending court hearings and trials, writing deposition reports, closing and funds memorandums, and other documents needed for cases.

“I learned so much,” shared Fernandez. “It was exactly what I was looking for. I got to experience the whole process from organizing the case file, to reading it and then attending trial.”

The internship provided Fernandez an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge she has learned in the classroom to a professional setting. It also provided the busy D.A.’s office with a knowledgeable, hardworking individual who was passionate about her chosen field and who had the skills necessary to assist them in their important work.

“Emi certainly was an asset to the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office,” said Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.

filing JOINTLY Knowledge means nothing if you can’t use it to help others. Prof. Jennifer Niece developed Assumption’s Community Tax Assistance course to provide a way for students to apply their accounting skills while also giving back to the community by helping low-income Worcester residents prepare their tax returns.

In addition to earning certification from the Internal Revenue Service’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, the students study tax topics as well as sociological aspects of the population they serve.

The work helps them develop a sense of professionalism and responsibility because they can see the impact they make on the community – drawing connections between their learning and their service.

During the spring 2015 semester, 21 Assumption students spent 525 hours at Plumley Village preparing 386 tax returns that resulted in $806,000 of federal and state refunds for low-income taxpayers.

Performing for the

COMMUNITY

CELEBRATING THE ARTS Assumption College’s HumanArts Series strives to contribute to the growth, availability and impact of the arts in Worcester. A collection of instrumental and voice recitals as well as lectures on topics of importance and interest, the featured artists and lecturers include a mix of local, regional and nationally known musicians and scholars. Most importantly, all members of the greater Worcester community are invited to attend the HumanArts events free of charge.

BRINGING BROADWAY TO DOWNTOWN WORCESTER For three days in April, Assumption’s Department of Art, Music and Theatre presented the Tony Awardwinning musical Fiddler on the Roof, the College’s 7th annual spring production at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts. The 39-member cast featured Assumption students, alumni and local actors.

Fiddler came to the historic Hanover Theatre as part of Assumption’s continuing support of the storied venue. Past Assumption theatre productions performed at The Hanover include The Fantasticks, Les Misérables, Oliver! and Seussical The Musical.

“Theatre has always been a vibrant and important part of Assumption’s focus on the arts,” said Guest Director Richard Monroe ’85. “Through theatrical performances, the students and friends of the College provide the community with Broadway-quality shows open to the public. The opportunity to perform in a first-class venue such as The Hanover Theatre in front of Assumption neighbors and friends is a great bonus.”

“Assumption College is pleased to offer the HumanArts series not only to the College community but also to the greater Worcester community,” said Professor of Music Michelle Graveline. “The series is a great enhancement to our students’ liberal arts education, as well as a way to give back to, and enhance the arts in, Worcester.”

Performances during the 2014-2015 academic year included concerts by the Boston Cello Quartet, the Bach Consort of Worcester and harpsichordist Katherine Gordon Seifert. Featured lecturers explored topics like Israeli architecture, sports and civil rights and the poems of Robert Frost.

Drawn from a tradition originating in 19th century England, the “Lessons and Carols” service intersperses the recitation of Scripture lessons with carols and other songs that reflect on the lessons’ message and a brief prayer.

The College also hosts “Sounds of the Season,” featuring the Assumption College Chorale, and the Assumption College Band Christmas Concert.

These concerts feature well-known carols and other selections of seasonal music.
