Each semester students can pick up a Student Activities Calendar that includes all the events for the semester. Students should also regularly visit myChatham for updates!

The following are series events that happen each semester. These student favorites are a great way to get involved and meet new people:

• Tuesday Night Edge is a weekly series where students flex their creativity and have fun! They make crafts, participate in competitions, or work on environmental projects.
• Café Rachel Coffeehouse Series is a bi-weekly series featuring acoustic performers, comedians and Chatham talent. This is a great way to relax and enjoy music.
• Friday Frenzy is a new Friday night event that students enjoy the chance to mix and mingle with Chatham students and students from other Pittsburgh schools. This incorporates dances, competitions, late night mayhem events, and performers.
• Become an R.E.P. (Refined. Exceptional. Professional.) a series for the Seniors to learn important skills before they graduate and connect with Chatham Alumnae. Students learn to network, participate in an etiquette dinner, and learn the art of wine tasting and much more.
• Chatham Cinema brings monthly pre-release movies to campus for students to enjoy. This is your chance to bring the movie theatre on campus.
• Fit for the Future Remix is a program for students to learn to lead a healthier life. The program incorporates five components – physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual. All activities are designed to incorporate these areas to help students lead a more balanced life. Participants have chances to win great prizes.
• Saturday Shopping is a bi-weekly shopping trip hosted by Student Activities and the Office of International Programs to give students a chance to get off campus and buy food and other supplies for the next week.
