Cabrini University was a private Catholic university in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. It was founded by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1957, and was named after the first American naturalized citizen saint, Mother Frances Cabrini. It was one of the first universities in the United States to make community service a graduation requirement for all undergraduates; having a core curriculum centered on social justice. Due to ongoing financial challenges, the university closed at the end of the 2023–2024 academic year, with ownership of the university's campus passing to Villanova University.
