programs and facilities. In addition to raising funds for the Tinsley Camus Ministry Center, President Cesareo also raised funds for the state-of-the-art Tsotsis Family Academic Center and Health Sciences Building. Funds raised during the Capital Campaign for Assumption College: Light the Way were used to construct Tsotsis, or TFAC as students refer to the academic building, and the Health Sciences Building which will host the nursing and physicians assistant programs. President Cesareo also established Assumption's first international campus in Rome, Italy. Continuing education Assumption's first effort at continuing education began in 1954 with the founding of the Evening College, later known as the St. Augustine Institute. Non-credit courses were offered two years later with the founding of the Adult Education Center. These facilities were coeducational and open to the public. Assumption phased out both facilities in the late 1960s. In 1979, Assumption launched a second effort at continuing adult education with the Center for Continuing and Professional Education, renamed in 2007 the Center for Continuing and Career Education. This new facility combined the credited courses of the old Evening College and the non-credit work of the Adult Education Center into one office. The Center celebrated its 25th anniversary in the same year as the undergraduate studies' centennial. In 2020, after extensive analysis, Assumption University decided to sunset the Continuing and Career Education division. The decision reflected market realities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities that point in new directions for adult learners at the university, namely in the area of graduate studies. College institutes The French Institute (Institut Français), founded in 1979, serves as a specialized research center for students studying French history, culture, and language. The institute was founded by Father Wilfrid J. Dufault, A.A., the late chancellor emeritus of Assumption, and Dr. Claire Quintal, founding director emerita, to preserve the French heritage of Assumption and of the New England region. The institute is both an academic research facility and a center for French cultural activities. Although its main goals are to foster the preservation and study of the records of the history and cultural traditions of French ethnicity on this continent, the name "French Institute" ("Institut français") was chosen to encompass the entire Francophone world. The institute is the leading place to study material relating to the more than 1.5 million French Canadians who immigrated to New England in the 19th and 20th centuries. As a research
