Main Line Today published "Immaculata University Celebrates its Centennial Anniversary with Plans for the Future," with reporting by Michael Bradley.
Bradley interviewed Barbara Lettiere, Immaculata’s first-ever lay president and a graduate of the school, for an overview of institutional plans to continue serving students and maintain the traditions of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Immaculata University was founded in 1914 as Villa Maria Academy for Girls in Immaculata, PA near Philadelphia. It became Villa Maria College in 1920, the first Catholic college for women in the Philadelphia area. The name was changed to Immaculata College in 1928 and then to Immaculata University in 2002.
You can visit the centennial web pages for planned events and a timeline of key dates and photographs from Immaculata's past.
Web pages for the institutional archives in the Gabriele Library offer more information including links to a photo archive with several hundred images.
