ABOUT CHATHAM COLLEGE

The Rachel Carson Institute was established at Chatham College in 1989 to continue the legacy of Chatham's most distinguished alumna, Carson 29' by promoting the awareness and understanding of significant and current environmental issues through national and regional conferences, debates, lecture series, seminars, panel discussions and other educational programs.

The Institute's programming has three focal points:
1) research, public education, and policy on the role of women as environmental leaders and the impact of environmental issues on women worldwide;
2) campus-based curricular and co-curricular programming in environmental studies, including a campus greening project called "Chatham eCollegie";
3) environmental education programming for area schools.
