Student Welcome
By Lisa Lambert / 25 August 2025
 
Dear Students,
 
Good morning, everyone! It's a beautiful day at Chatham University, and a perfect day for the start of the 25-26 academic year. Welcome back returning students, and welcome to all our new students!
 
A university is many things- a place to explore new ideas, to prepare for a career, and to meet new people. But most of all, it’s a community. At Chatham, you will find people with many different interests and experiences. Our community thrives whenever new voices and ideas are added; we welcome you, your voice, and your ideas. Our Chatham faculty and staff look forward to helping you prepare to "lead lives of purpose, meaning, and fulfilling work."
 
Here's to new friends, and new beginnings!
Best wishes,
 
Lisa
