It is named for John Henry Cardinal Newman and was founded by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ in 1933. HistoryThe college was founded in 1933 by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ as Sacred Heart Junior College. Courses were offered for women only, initially offering degrees in home economics, nursing, teaching, and secretarial science. The college added more facilities and courses during the 1950s and began accepting male students on a limited basis in 1959. The school became fully coeducational in 1965 and was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools in 1967. The name of the school was changed to Kansas Newman College in 1973 and to Newman University in 1998. The school is named in honor of John Henry Cardinal Newman.[2] Founders Plaza hosts a statue of Adorers of the Blood of Christ founder St. Maria De Mattias. The dedication of the statue was at Newman's 75th anniversary in 2008. Bill Hopen and his son, Gabriel, of Sutton, WV sculpted this statue and several more.[3] CampusThe main buildings of Newman University are all dedicated to someone important in Newman's history. The Fine Arts Center is named after Maria De Mattias, the founder of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ. Maria taught herself to write and subsequently taught those from her local area who could not afford an education.[4]{{failed verification|date=November 2013}} Others figures from the history of the University have also had buildings named after them at Newman, such as Monsignor Leon A. McNeill, who was the focus of Missions talks for 2013-2014. He was the first president as Newman as a College.[5] In 2010 Newman University unveiled plans for a new science building, to be located near the Heimerman Science Center, which were approved by the Board of Trustees in October 2013.[6] Fundraising for the projected $30 million cost is expected to take 15–18 months. The Gymnasium is named after the O’Shaughnessy family which has made generous donations towards Newman and were the lead donors for the athletic department. The family also supports scholarships and other buildings around campus such as De Mattias Fine Arts Hall.[7] The Dugan Library and conference center was named after John E. and Marilyn K. Dugan of Wichita for their donation of $2 million after the previous library was demolished.[8]
