Founded in 1851 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, it is the third-oldest college in California and notably the first in the state to grant baccalaureate degrees to women. NDNU's three Schools - Business and Management, Education, and Psychology - offer master's degrees in business, education, and psychology; undergraduate degree completion in business administration and psychology; and teacher credential programs. With NDNU's organizational transition to focus on graduate, credential, and adult education programs, maintaining a large campus footprint was no longer core to NDNU's educational enterprise. In September of 2025, Notre Dame de Namur University sold approximately 95 acres of its Belmont property to UC Investments, the University of California's investment arm. For NDNU, the transaction provides long-term financial stability and sustainability, allowing the university to preserve its 174-year legacy while scaling down to a more sustainable footprint that provides the opportunity to reimagine its mission-driven operations and reconfigure its academic model - focusing more deeply on graduate education, online programs, and community partnerships. NDNU's next President will have the opportunity to join the university at a pivotal moment in its evolution as the campus community envisions a new future while honoring its history and legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The selected candidate will have the unique opportunity to rebrand and communicate NDNU's renewal story; further develop career-aligned, flexible learning options (online, hybrid, graduate, and certificate) that meet workforce and adult learner needs; expand fundraising and donor engagement, including major gifts, alumni giving, and corporate partnerships; and collaboratively define NDNU's educational product and value proposition, clarifying its distinct academic identity in a competitive landscape.
