We are very proud that you selected Assumption. Our student body is excellent and you are no exception. We are happy to have you with us. As you already know, the academic life is about new and enduring relationships, social, religious and academic. We have high expectations of one another here and respect one another.
Assumption is a civil, friendly, and productive place.
We all intend to keep it that way. I want the students in this room to know that we want to graduate every one of you from Assumption. You wouldn't be in this audience if you didn't have the potential to be successful here. You have already demonstrated your ability to master academic work. We are quite confident that transfer students build our academic reputation and we know you can do well here from all the past successes of transfer students who have come to Assumption.
