Dec 7, 2022 9:30 AM | In 2022, the University of Notre Dame celebrates 50 years of being a coeducational institution. Daughters of Our Lady: Finding a Place at Notre Dame joins the year-long celebrations occurring throughout campus. This exhibit presents a selection of correspondence, articles, documents, and other materials from the Notre Dame Archives that record the journey toward coeducation. The transition to fully include women in all aspects of student life was a long, winding, and sometimes bumpy road. Since the 1910s, women have been studying at and earning degrees from the University of Notre Dame. For the most part, their experiences were exclusive to the Summer School Program, which was established in 1918. However, by the 1960s, it was clear that Notre Dame, like its peers, had to pursue coeducation to remain a relevant, top-tier university. Notre Dame became coeducational in the fall of 1972, but it would take years for women to be fully integrated into undergraduate life. Women struggled for representation in the classrooms, in student organizations, and on the athletic fields. This exhibit takes a look back at the pioneering women who have helped shape Notre Dame for over one hundred years. This exhibit is curated by Elizabeth Hogan, Senior Archivist for Photographs and Graphic Materials. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours. 2022 Fall Exhibit Open House Tour Exhibit curator, Elizabeth Hogan, will be available in the exhibit gallery to walk you through the exhibit and answer questions on the following dates:Friday, October 14, 3:00pm – 4:00pm Friday, November 4, 3:00pm – 4:00pm Friday, November 18, 3:00pm – 4:00pm
