Intramurals Our Promise to You Since 1869 the quality of the student experience has been a defining characteristic of a Chatham education. The student experience at Chatham is driven by our mission, recently updated and adopted in early 2015: Chatham University prepares women and men to be world ready: to build lives of purpose and value and fulfilling work. In addition to appropriate professional skills and liberal arts learning, Chatham believes that world readiness means being an informed and engaged citizen in one’s communities; recognizing and respecting diversity of culture, identity and opinion; and living sustainably on the planet. This Student Academic Planner and Handbook compiles some of the resources that help Chatham and you live our mission more fully, while helping you find the pathway to your future. This information has been compiled by the staff of the Office of Student Affairs. They are part of a University-wide team, which includes everyone who is privileged to teach or work here, that is dedicated to providing you with a learning experience unlike any other. If there is anything our team can do to help make your Chatham experience a better one, please do not hesitate to contact us in care of my office (412-365-1160) or the Office of Student Affairs (412-365-1286).

Things at Chatham are more dynamic than ever, and it’s all with the goal of preparing each of our students – graduate and undergraduate – with the skills and perspectives to be influential, world-ready citizens. One of my goals as your vice president for student affairs and dean of students is to bring you, your fellow students, and other campus constituents together to share in the Chatham experience. I hope to do so by personally advocating for the building of community through involvement in the vast number of intellectual, social, recreational, athletic, leadership, service, civic, and wellness related activities offered by this fine institution. My wish is that you will join me in this endeavor. Our Student Affairs offices are much more than great facilities. They are full of committed, able staff ready to help make great things happen for you in Cougar Country. You often hear people say that college is the best time of your life; I happen to believe it is. Chatham is a truly a unique institution with many opportunities to offer. My advice? Get out of your comfort zone and enjoy yourself. Be smart, be safe, and remember to be accountable for your actions. Put forth the effort to be creative and make a difference. Some of the best learning at college takes place outside the classroom – I hope you’ll take the time to get to know all aspects of this great university and connect yourself to all we have to offer. I feel fortunate to call Chatham my home and hope you will as well. Please feel free to contact me directly should you need anything. Stop by the Office of Student Affairs on the first floor of Woodland Hall or stay connected via the social media accounts listed below.

  • Eagles' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
