History
D'Youville College was founded by Gray Nuns and named for their patron, Saint Marie-Marguerite d'Youville. The State Legislature of New York gave D'Youville a charter to become a college on April 8, 1908. The college was accredited by the State University of New York in 1908, and has maintained their accreditation ever since.
It was the first college to offer a bachelor's degree program for women in the state of New York, and remained a women's college until the 1970s. It also started the first four-year undergraduate nursing program in the area in 1942.
Following the Board of Directors' directive, the process of changing the status from college to university began in June 2007, with a plan to submit an official request to the State Education Department upon completion of review and modification of its terms.
In July 2016, Sister Denise Roche, who served D'Youville College as president for 36 years, resigned and was replaced by Interim President William Mariani. In December 2016, the College Board of Supervisors appointed Dr. Lorrie Clemo as the new president.
