Sister of Charity Judith Metz will present a program via Facebook Live about the history of Mount St. Joseph University. Established by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, it opened its doors to the first 20 students in 1920 at the Motherhouse in Delhi as the first Catholic university for women in Southwestern Ohio. The program will be on Facebook Live beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 9.

With the growth of student enrollment, the Sisters of Charity made plans to develop property at the intersection of Delhi and Neeb roads, and opened a new campus in the fall of 1962. In 1986, the University was formally declared coeducational. The University, though incorporated under a Board of Trustees in 1972, remains a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Charity.

Today the University serves a diverse coeducational student population of undergraduate and graduate students.
