Courses In the Fall of 2022, Assumption University launched a new Graduate Diploma in Catholic Studies. The five-course diploma is taught synchronously online by qualified professors. It received the endorsement of the Bishop of London and Chancellor of Assumption University, Ronald Peter Fabbro. The courses include, Foundations of Catholic Thought, Catholicism and Social Justice, Catholicism and Dialogue, Topics in Catholic Studies, Catholic Studies Capstone Project, and Directed Readings in Catholic Studies. This diploma is advantageous to students seeking employment in the Catholic education, healthcare, or social services sectors. The diploma is considered a hiring asset at several Catholic school boards in the Province of Ontario. In addition, given the program’s flexibility, it fits within the busy schedules of working professionals, particularly teachers, healthcare professionals, and administrators in search of an added graduate credential for possible career advancement. There are four scholarships attached to the diploma, including the Honourable Robert Joseph Comuzzi Scholarship, the Cappucci Scholarship in Christian Studies, the Minotti Scholarship in Christian Studies, the Monsignor L.A. Wnuk Scholarship, and the William E. Kelly Scholarship in Catholic Studies. Campus Ministry For many years, Assumption University has provided Campus Ministry services for the University of Windsor students, faculty and staff. Campus Ministry is a place where life meets faith. They engage the very diverse population of the University of Windsor and have created spaces and programs that promote radical hospitality. They are open to all who want to participate and seek to better the whole person – body, mind and spirit. The dynamic staff provide a comprehensive Campus Ministry program which includes Sunday and weekday Masses and an emphasis on student leadership. Campus Ministry staff are members of Chaplaincy Network, an ecumenical group on campus who also partner with the Muslim Chaplaincy. In 2022, Assumption University's Campus Ministry program partnered with Canterbury College's Campus Ministry program. The bringing together of Catholic and Anglican ministry programs represents a major step forward for ecumenical dialogue.
