Cardinal Cushing College was one of three now-defunct women's colleges sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, along with College of Saint Mary-of-the-Wasatch in Salt Lake City and Dunbarton College of Holy Cross in Washington, D.C.
After its closing, the college's campus became owned by Newbury College.[1] Newbury College closed in 2019. Its records are held in the Sisters of the Holy Cross Archives at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana.[2]
