Community Service Initiatives
At Chatham University we strive to prepare students to become environmentally responsible and globally conscious citizen leaders. For this reason The Office of Student Activities strives to provide a range of community service opportunitiesthat will challenge and engage our students to expand their understanding of the social issues in Pittsburgh and beyond. We encourage all students, faculty and staff to be involved in community service opportunities. There are a variety of Community Service opportunities to choose from:- Scheduled Community Service Activities – Regularly scheduled one–time co–curricular activities
- Community Service Day – One day each semester entirely dedicated to community service which involves current students, faculty, staff, and alumni
- Selfless Saturdays - Once a month we will be venturing into Pittsburgh for a morning of service. Join us for one or all mornings
- Community Service Database – We know that students, faculty and staff contribute to the community in many ways besides the community service opportunities we provide. The Community Service Database keeps track of potential volunteer agencies and tracks the Chatham communities volunteer efforts. Students can submit their hours by updating their Co-Curricular Transcript and faculty and staff can complete the Community Service Volunteer forms located on myChatham. Please submit your community service hours each time you volunteer.

Cornerstone – Student Yearbook
A long standing tradition that has existed for over nine decades is the Cornerstone Yearbook. The purpose of the yearbook is to provide an accurate account of the students, faculty and staff as well as the traditions and events each year. Students who participate as active members of Cornerstone gain experience in layout and design, writing, photography, sales and marketing.
Chatham Activities Board
Chatham Activities Board (CAB) is the student programming body for the entire campus. CAB helps plan student favorite events such as Chatham Cinema and Tuesday Night Edge, but CAB is also responsible for planning major campus traditions such as Harvest Fun Fest, Halloween Dinner, Holiday Ball, Battle of the Classes, Spring Fling and much more.
