August Edition of the Parent and Family Newsletter

Hello, Greyhound Families!

I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you as we begin a new academic year. To our newest families, thank you for joining our community—we're honored to be part of your student's academic journey, and this newsletter is one of the ways we'll stay connected along the way.

In this monthly newsletter, you'll find campus updates, helpful resources, important dates, and stories from our community. We hope it gives you a window into student life at Assumption and a resource you can count on all year.

As we look ahead, there's so much to be excited about: new faces, new opportunities, and plenty of growth for our students. We're grateful to have you all as part of the Assumption family and can't wait to see what amazing things lie ahead for your Greyhounds.

Should you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to deanofstudents@assumption.edu.

Warmly,

Lauren Haynie

Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Students
