Mundelein College was founded as an all women's college in 1930 by the Sisters of the Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Following a merger with Loyola University Chicago in 1993, the spirit of Mundelein lives on through the Ann Ida Gannon, BVM, Center for Women and Leadership. Housed in Piper Hall (the former library) at the Lake Shore Campus, the Center is dedicated to supporting and strengthening women's leadership.
