Bernard F. Gaughan, 80, passed away on November 9 after a brief battle with cancer. A Clinton native, Coach Gaughan was a respected member of the Assumption College football coaching staff for more than 20 years, helping to transform the program from a club to a varsity sport.
While conquering Division II football was one feat, his transfer to Division I Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, LA, proved he could successfully compete at the highest levels of collegiate football. Tracy helped upset three nationally-ranked conference rivals to open the Tigers’ season.
Sean Clarke ’97, Jill (Clarke) Fotiades ’93, and Michael Fotiades ’92, of Clarke Distribution Corporation, believe in the value of the liberal arts education they received at Assumption. Their esteem for the Assumption academic tradition runs so deeply in their family that they seek Assumption students for their internship program.
Cedric Ellis ’84 discovered that he preferred studying human resources than English. With his foundation in social work, Ellis pursued a position at the Connecticut Office of Legislative Research as an entry-level researcher. He credits his multidisciplinary liberal arts education from Assumption for finding his true calling in human resources.
