Grace Hopper College is a residential college of Yale University, opened in 1933 as one of the original eight undergraduate residential colleges endowed by Edward Harkness. It was originally named Calhoun College after US Vice President John C. Calhoun, but renamed in 2017 in honor of computer scientist Grace Murray Hopper.[2][3][4] The building was designed by John Russell Pope.

From the 1960s onward, Calhoun's white supremacist beliefs and pro-slavery leadership[5][6][7][8] had prompted calls to rename the college and remove its tributes to Calhoun. In 2016, the Yale Corporation chose to retain the Calhoun name,[9][10] but in 2017 it reversed its decision and renamed the college after Hopper.[2][3]
