University of Dallas Rome Program

We caught up with some of our Class of 2026 graduates right before they entered The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory to take their seats for commencement. We asked them how they were feeling and what they love most about the University of Dallas. Their answers say it all.

Enjoy the reel and congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of you!

What a great chapter!

The best insight on college life comes from those who have lived it, so we asked graduating seniors to share what they will miss most about their time at the University of Dallas.

Most know John Adams. Few know the woman behind him.

University of Dallas history professor Dr. Susan Hanssen was personally invited by the White House's Salute to America 250 Task Force to share the story of Abigail Adams in "The Story of America," a video series produced by Hillsdale College in partnership with the White House's Salute to America 250 Task Force to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

In this episode, Dr. Hanssen shares the story of Abigail Adams, one of the most influential yet often overlooked figures of the American Founding. Through her expertise, we learn about Abigail's faith, her grief, her steadfast support of John Adams and how her counsel helped shape the founding of our nation.

Dr. Hanssen's passion for this topic runs deep. She regularly teaches John and Abigail Adams' letters in her course "Women in American History" at UDallas and has published extensively on the subject. Read her work below:
