History
NDNU was founded in 1851 as the College of Notre Dame, a women's college, by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in nearby San Jose. Chartered in 1868, NDNU was the first college in California authorized to grant baccalaureate degrees to women. In 1923 the school moved to the estate of former Bank of California president William Ralston, whose house was preserved as Ralston Hall. In 1969, the school became co-educational. In 2001, the school changed its name to Notre Dame de Namur University. The campus is a California Historical Landmark, and the summer home of bank president Ralston is on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2005, Philosophy Professor Phil Gasper received controversy for nominating convicted murderer Stanley Williams for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work at writing children's books and for developing peace treaties between gangs. Critics accused him of not caring about the victims of the crimes and for neglecting the role Williams had in forming the Crips street gang, one of the largest criminal enterprises in the United States today.
Athletics
