From College To University

With educational leadership of Rev. Fr. Ramos, the institution was granted University status on March 29, 1980 by the Ministry of Education,Culture and Sports. From thence, the school has been named University of the Assumption.

During Fr. Octavio Ramos's presidency enrollment soared and the campus grew with the construction of the following building:

• The Nutrition building
• The Grade School building, currently known as the Rev. Msgr. Octavio M. Ramos building
• The Msgr. Guerrero building which houses the University Chapel
• The Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz Museum and Archives
• The Multi-Purpose Hall
• The Ryan Hall extension
• The Puno Hall extension
• The Alumni building
• The Post Office
• The Waiting Shed

Under Fr. Ramos, the University was chosen as a site for the Regional Staff Development Center, the Nutrition Center, the Decentralized Learning Resource Center, and the Educational Development Implementation Task Force for Region III. It was also under his term that the Outreach Ministry was launched.
