After carefully reviewing the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation in Italy and consulting with Assumption faculty in Rome, the college has temporarily suspended operations at its campus in Rome, Italy, for the remainder of the spring 2020 semester, according to the Office of Communications at the school. Arrangements are being made to transport students back to the United States as soon as possible. The college plans to resume Rome Campus operations for its various summer programs, pending the coronavirus situation in Italy at that time.
“The safety of our students and faculty in Rome is paramount,” said Assumption President Francesco C. Cesareo, Ph.D. “This decision was difficult and not one made in haste, rather, it was thoughtfully, thoroughly and exhaustively discussed over a number of days. While we hoped for students to complete the semester in Rome, an unprecedented global health crisis has intervened.”
