What’s in a Name?
Today we know our alma mater as Santa Clara University, or SCU for short. Not so long ago the nomenclature was less defined—called University of Santa Clara, USC, Santa Clara University, SCU, Santa Clara, or just SC—depending on who you spoke to or where you read it. Find out how we got from myriad monikers to the name we know so well »
