“We are very proud of our Dean’s List students,” said Assumption College President Francesco Cesareo in a press release. “Making the List is the culmination of a semester of serious dedication to one’s studies and a commitment to academic excellence. This devotion is a hallmark of Assumption’s students, as they prepare to go forth into the world and light the way for others and the affirmation of the College’s mission to transform spirits and minds. Congratulations to all those who have achieved this honor.”

The following Framingham students were named to the fall 2014 Dean’s List:

Assumption’s vibrant and engaging liberal arts curriculum - featuring 42 majors and 48 minors - prepares students for today’s competitive job market.

Surveys of employers including a recent study done by the Association of American Colleges & Universities, demonstrate that businesses seek college graduates with strong analytic and communication skills, the capacity to work in teams, and the ability to write and think clearly. Those skills are quintessential hallmarks of a liberal arts education - an Assumption education.
