INTRODUCTION TO NOTREDAMEDENAMUR UNIVERSITY

President’s Welcome If there is one single word that describes Notre Dame de Namur, that word is community. Like other universities, we are a community of teachers, scholars, and learners committed to excellence and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the Catholic intellectual tradition. AtNDNU, we have a strong commitment toproviding high-quality professional educationthat will equipour graduates toimmediately take their place in society or prepare them formore advanced study. Thateducationis built ona liberalarts foundation that helps broaden students’ worldviewand develop critical thinking skills.

But anequally strong commitment tothe Catholic social justice tradition and the Hallmarks of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur means thatwe are acutely aware ofthe needs of the larger society that surrounds our campus. Hence, NDNUalso seeks to develop in its students a deep commitment to becoming valued, contributing membersof whatever community inwhichthey findthemselves members as they go through life. And thatcommitmentbegins at our doorstep: the larger community that exists rightoutside the gates ofthe University, up and down the San Francisco Peninsula, and throughout theBay Area. Wetake ourresponsibilities to thatcommunity seriously;so seriously, in fact, that undergraduate students, staff, and faculty routinely devote 100,000 hours ormore a yearto a varietyof communityservice projects.

Our engagement with the community goes beyond communityservice projects; NDNU has always been committed to giving our studentsthe opportunityto learn from, and give back to, the community in which they live by offering everything from community-basedlearning coursesto service opportunitiesand internshipswith local businesses as well as community service and other nonprofit organizations. In2007, we launchedthe Dorothy Stang Center for Social Justice and Community Engagement to be the focal point for the University’s communityengagement activities, including training of facultyand student leaders. Sr. Dorothywas a Sister of Notre Dame who was martyred in Brazil in February of 2005 for her work defending indigent farmers and the environment in theAmazon rain forest. Sheinspires us to continue the workof social justice. In recent years, wehave built anacademic planthat embeds community engagement in thefabric of theacademic environment through which ourstudents pass. Itis ourgoal to give

every student—traditional day, undergraduate, evening intensive, and graduate—the opportunity tolearnfrom and contributein ameaningful way to thecommunity.

The University, the third oldest in California, was founded in 1851 by the Sisters of Notre Dame, Catholic nuns from Namur, Belgium, who educated young women displaced by the French Revolution. Later, they established schools forwomen and children in Oregon and California atthe outset of the California GoldRush.

Today, NDNU is afully accredited master's university with a student body of nearly 1800. TheUniversity is bigenoughtohost three separate schools—the College ofArts andSciences, the School of Business andManagement, and the School of Education and Psychology—offering 19 liberal arts andcareer preparationundergraduate programs, 9 graduate degrees, fourcredentials, and 1doctoral program yet it is small enough to boast a12-to-1student-teacherratio. Oursize allows our students to form strong, personal bonds with fellow students and teachers. Itis in those bonds thatcommunitybegins.

Mission Statement Founded upon thevalues of theSisters of NotreDamedeNamur and rooted in the Catholic tradition, Notre Dame de Namur University serves its students andthe communitybyproviding excellent professional and liberal arts programs in which community engagement and the values of social justice and global peace are integral to the learning experience.NDNU is a diverse and inclusive learning community that challenges each member to consciouslyapplyvaluesand ethicsin his/her personal, professional, and public life.

Vision Statement Notre Dame de Namur University will be recognized in the San Francisco Bay Areaas aleader in integrating communityengagement into high-quality academic programs. NDNU’s programs willbe widely known for theirinnovative synthesis ofliberal arts learning, professionally-orientedlearning, andcore values.

History Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) is the only four-year accredited universityin San Mateo County.

Introduction to Notre Dame de Namur University| 7

Foundedby the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in1851, NDNU is a Catholic, not-for-profit, coeducational institution serving about 1800 traditionalage and adult studentsfrom diverse backgrounds. The university isfully accredited and offers 34undergraduate,graduate,and teachercredential programs. The 50-acrecampus is located in the city of Belmont on the San Francisco Peninsulain Silicon Valley.

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to the San Francisco Bay Areafrom their mission schools in Oregon. While visiting the Bay Area they established an institute of higher learning, College of Notre Dame, inthe city of SanJose. The school was chartered in 1868 as the firstcollege in the state of California authorized to grant the baccalaureate degree towomen.

The Sisters soon outgrew their facility in the South Bay and moved thecampus to Belmont in 1923. They purchasedRalstonHall, the country estate of William ChapmanRalston, SanFranciscofinancier andfounder of the Bank ofCalifornia. Ralston Hall became the center of the campus and in recentyears has been designated as a California Historical Landmark.

Sincethen, theuniversity has undergonea number of changes. In 1955, College of Notre Dame began offering its first evening classes, followed by the introduction ofteaching credential programs in 1965. Initially a women’s college, the institution became coeducational in 1969; three men graduated as partofthe class of1970. The college expanded itsofferingsto include master’sdegreesin 1972 andaddedevening undergraduate programs in1988.

In 2001,the college established four schools:Schoolof Arts andHumanities, School of Sciences, School of Business andManagement, andSchool of EducationandLeadership. Theinstitution's namewas changed to Notre Dame de Namur University that same year. In 2009,the School of Arts and Humanities and School of Sciences merged to become the College of Arts and Sciences. The School of Education and Leadership was changed to theSchool of Education and Psychology in2016.

In an effort to provide access to a greater number of students, the university began offering partnershipsin specificdegree programswith local community collegesin 2009, allowing students to complete an NDNU degree on the community collegecampus. NDNU first achieved its statusasa Hispanic-Serving Institution, meaning its undergraduate populationis at least 25% Hispanic, in2009, and maintains that status to this day. In 2010, NDNU launched its Gen 1 program for first-generation

students. Online degrees were added in 2012, and a new Ph.D. program in art therapy, NDNU’s first doctoral program andthe first Ph.D. program inart therapy inthe nation, was establishedin2013. The University expanded its program offerings tothe city of Tracy in fall 2015.

In a collegial community, the corporate person of the Universityand the persons ofthe faculty, staff, administration, and the student body bear mutual responsibility to exercise professional competence andtoextendtoone another the trustand respectthatfosteran environmentforthe exerciseof academic freedom.
