How many college campuses boast their own historical plaques? Here at the Incarnate Word College Plaque, we celebrate a legacy of education and growth. The plaque itself marks a significant moment in the university’s timeline, but the story of Incarnate Word College starts long before. Established in 1881 as a women’s college, Incarnate Word College quickly became a beacon of knowledge and opportunity in San Antonio. The institution steadily expanded its offerings, adding bachelor’s degrees in 1910 with a keen focus on business-oriented courses. By the 1970s, under the forward-thinking leadership of Sister Margaret Patrice Slattery and Dean Dr. Peter D. O’Connor, the college blossomed. New undergraduate and graduate programs were introduced, including the innovative Master of Business Administration (MBA). This period saw the formal establishment of the Department of Business Administration, a testament to the college’s commitment to equiping students for success in a changing world. The institution’s dedication to community service also shone through with initiatives like VITA, providing invaluable tax assistance to those in need. The late 20th century brought about a new chapter, with the Department of Business Administration evolving into the esteemed H-E-B School of Business and Administration. Today, this plaque stands as a reminder of the enduring spirit of Incarnate Word College, a place where history and progress intertwine.
