Newest Pages in UA's History
Year 2007 is marked with momentous changes in the history of the university of the Assumption. Topping it all is the line up of the top administrators His Excellency the Most Reverend Roberto C. Mallari,D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of San Fernando, Pampanga, was installed as the fifth President of the University.Immediately upon his assumption of office, the University was granted a Level II re-accreditation status by PAASCU. He is ably assisted by the active presence of the clergy as Vice Presidents of three distinct but intertwining areas: Rev. Fr. Winifredo Santos who was later replaced by Dr. Mediatriz D. MArtin on Academic Affairs, Rev. Fr. Manuel Sta. Maria on Administration, and Rev. Fr. Deogracias Kerr S. Galang on Finance. Working effectively as the EXECOM, they had successfully led the University's paradigm shift to becoming a renewed institution, living up to its name and vision as center of excellent, transformative Christian Education.
At present, the university is offering its newest programs bachelor of Science in Tourism Management, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering.
Aside from the new courses, the new administration is concern about the welfare of the employees. The first Collective Bargaining Agreement with the union with this new team at the helm was closed without hassles. Salaries of employees were adjusted to a level most acceptable to all parties. With the convenience of the students as the main driving force, the Execom under the leadership of Bishop Bobet initiated the construction of the St. Thomas Aquinas Students Courtyard (STACY) which serves as the student center and the remodelling of the main entrance which is now aptly called as the "Gates of Excellence". With its new design, the main entrance is more welcoming to the students, and guests.
After serving the University for almost 5 years, Bishop Roberto Mallari, D.D. was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to head the Diocese of San Jose in Nueva Ecija. Thus, on August 22, 2012, Rev. Fr. Joselito C. Henson, S.Th.D was installed as the sixth President of the University. Fr. Henson finished his Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium Magna Cum Laude in School Year 1994-1995.

“The newest is but the oldest made visible to our senses.”

“There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
