On September 26, hundreds of members of the Assumption community signed the last I-beam before it was placed on the frame of the institution’s new Health Sciences building, cementing their place in Assumption history. The state-of-the-art, 41,000-square-foot building, which will house Assumption’s new nursing and physician assistant programs.
The medical field is changing. No longer are doctors the sole providers of a patient’s care; physician assistants (PAs) are becoming increasingly present in hospitals, doctor offices, and every aspect of care. “The practice rules are changing,” said Michael Whitehead, DHSc, PA-C, DFAAPA, dean of the School of Health Professions.
Assumption awarded Presidential Awards to Adam Volungis, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology; Greg Weiner, Ph.D., provost and academic vice president and associate professor of political science; Ted Zito, associate dean of students; and Paula Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., professor of psychology and dean of the College of the Liberal Arts & Sciences.
