In honor of the 200^th birthday of Fr. Emmanuel d’Alzon, Assumption College released a festschrift titled, Teaching after d’Alzon: Essays on Education Today, about the power of the Assumptionist founder and educator’s ever-present influence on today’s classroom. In the publication, Assumption community members reflect on how their own teaching lives have been formed in the tradition of d’Alzon.
