Chatham Scholars Program
by Samantha Greenwood
If you’re interested in a distinct academic experience, beyond the normally excellent classes at Chatham, you should look into Chatham Scholars Program. I’m a Scholar, and it’s a really incredible program. The Scholars Program has undeniably enriched my first year experience. Having cohort classes (classes where there are only other scholars) has helped me make a lot of friends who are the same boat (academically) as I am. The first semester at Chatham as a Scholar students are involved in two Scholars classes, both first year seminars and both are cohort classes. This year these included a first year English seminar and a first year Science seminar, both taught by really amazing professors. The Scholars group study together, has dinner together and the learning environment extends far beyond the confines of the classroom.
As a Scholars group, we have watched “Thank You for Smoking” with all of the Scholars levels, gone to the Chilhuly glass exhibit at the Phipps Conservatory in Oakland, dinner followed by the Andy Warhol museum downtown, and are planning a trip to the Bodies exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center. It really is a unique community of incredibly diverse young women.
