Answer

Coeducational: During the tenure of Father Theodore M. Hesburgh as president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, the institution underwent a significant transformation by transitioning from an all-male student body to a coeducational university. This pivotal change marked a new era of inclusivity and diversity, opening up educational opportunities to female students and fostering a more well-rounded and dynamic academic community at Notre Dame.
