While reading a letter from a classmate that outlined how alumni could support the institution at their 50th Reunion in 2016, Assumption Professor Emeritus Paul J. Mahon, Ph.D. ’66, realized he had never shared the legacy he planned to leave his alma mater. Prof. Mahon took action, listing the institution as a partial beneficiary on his IRA account. This gift would help the Class of 1966 raise one of the largest class gifts to date for a 50th Reunion. This act meant more to Prof. Mahon, whose planned giving is a sign of support for the institution he loves and taught at for nearly 40 years as a professor of biology. He knew that by making Assumption a beneficiary, he would be taking care of students and academic programs that meant so much to him.
