The University of the Pacific (UOP) in Stockton was founded on July 10, 1851, and celebrated its 175th birthday.
"This is a great day. We are celebrating our birthday, our 175th birthday, as California's first and oldest university," said Christopher Callahan, president of UOP.
"175, which is not too far from America's 250th. It's crazy to imagine that UOP opened just 75 years after our country," said alumna Yna Gonzales.
"One of the things that drew me here was its long-standing history. It's not only the first university, but also the first university that admitted women in the state of California. I'm so happy to be a part of the celebration of continued diversity," said Dr. Blair Simmons, a staff psychologist.
Today, UOP is also preparing to open a new school of medicine in Stockton, the Central Valley's first.
UOP is also highlighted in Hollywood with a host of movies filmed on campus, including in the Indiana Jones franchise. UOP is pictured multiple times as the fictitious Marshall College, where Jones taught archeology.
UOP has about 7,000 students enrolled across its campuses in Stockton, Sacramento and San Francisco.
