MEET THE PEOPLE
Quality Professionals - Serving Humanity
The professional influence that ISRS has on rehabilitation careers locally, regionally, and nationally goes far beyond the number of graduates and the accomplishments of the faculty. The spirit of an Assumption education lies in all these graduates. ISRS will continue to work tirelessly to help students develop skills that will have a positive impact on the clients whom they serve. The graduates of ISRS are truly a living example of Assumption's commitment to serving humanity. |

“Graduates of the program are intelligent, dedicated counselors who have a proven record of success. The Rehabilitation Counseling program at Assumption is one of the finest in the nation, exemplified by the fact that other colleges have used it as a model. I’ve drawn upon my experience in the program throughout every phase of my career in the human services field – as a counselor, an employer, a manager, a professional fundraiser, and executive. Assumption College is a first-class community of learning".
Thomas Manning, M.A., C.A.G.S. 1971
Vice Chancellor for Operations and Commonwealth Medicine University of Massachusetts Medical School
The program is dynamic, first class learning experience founded on small classes, constant interaction with professors, and the application of theoretical learning though real-world internships. Assumption students are highly desired within the human services field, and especially here at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. We employ a number of Rehabilitation program graduates in various disciplines. As a group, they are compassionate, caring, insightful and intelligent professionals who view the person as a whole to determine the most effective course of treatment”.

Graduates Are Leaders in the Region
While having placed so many of our graduates in key rehabilitation positions throughout the state is a significant accomplishment, we consider it more important that our graduates continue to be highly sought after by human service agencies throughout New England. The fact that so many agencies in the region offer employment to our graduates, or placement opportunities to our students seeking internships, is a clear indication of the respect the community has for our programs and the students that we educate. Our programs continue to attract incoming students because our graduates have a record of secure employment throughout the country.

"It was an exiting program. Our professors and instructors had tremendous experience in the day-to-day world of counseling. Some continue to be managers in the field, and they all brought a passion to teaching that had a contagious effect on the students. The program is highly respected, which is a direct result of the superior knowledge and availability of the faculty. it was a well-rounded, well-p[resented education that prepared me to hit the ground running in my career."
