As I begin my third year as president at Chatham, that feeling is once again fresh in my mind! It’s yet another reason why, as I reflected on my own experiences as an undergraduate and graduate student, I was so pleased to discover all the things that Chatham University does, like providing this Student Handbook, to help students sustain that initial excitement throughout the year, make great strides in their personal and professional growth, and lead healthy and happy lives while doing so. I can relate to your experience on another level as well. I, like you, chose to come to Chatham not just because of its history of academic excellence, its incredible faculty and alumni, and its innovative spirit, but also because it stands for certain things of which I want to be a part. To be a part, as our mission states, of helping students build lives of purpose, value and meaningful work after they graduate. To be part of a new type of liberal arts university that combines the best of professional preparation for your field and the liberal arts skill-building necessary for success throughout your life. To be part of a University that believes in building healthy people and a healthy planet, and that does this while recognizing and respecting diversity of culture, identity and opinion. To be a part of the best possible place in Pittsburgh to learn and work. I look forward to starting this new year and new journey with you, and to working with you and the other members of the Chatham community to further those things and common values that brought us all here. I can’t think of a better place to start this new year and journey than at Chatham, or a better group of people to share the experience with than you and the rest of the Chatham community. I hope to be able to meet each of you to welcome you to the start of the new academic year. Until then, all the best to each of you on a great new year.

Our goal is to prepare you – graduate and undergraduate students – 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 one of the best times 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, be respectful, 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.

    A full spectrum of academic programs. Visual Arts The visual arts major prepares students to work as visual communicators and artists in a complex, rapidly changing global culture. Through the integration of technical applications and critical theory, students gain marketable skills that allow them to assume creative, scholarly, and leadership roles in the visual arts field, and to promote an understanding of the role STUDIO ARTS that the visual arts play in Students are introduced to fundamental hands-on skills, technical all facets of contemporary processes, theory, history, and culture beginning in art historical life. Students concentrate instruction and entry-level foundation classes to contemporary visual theory and advanced studio practices such as ceramics, sculpture, in either studio arts or art painting, drawing, and printmaking. & history. ART HISTORY The art history concentration grounds students in the trends and traditions of major art movements across the globe. Students are trained in analysis of images, from the traditional fine arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture to newer forms including photography, film, video, and electronic media. Emphasis is placed on understanding at (and around)works within a historical, social, political, and cultural context. Students interested in the arts and design have a lot of options. Why pick Chatham? Simple. We’re: • Small enough to not only ensure plenty of individual attention in studio courses, but also to allow the department to adapt its offerings to reflect students’ interests. • Mighty enough to host not only a collection of over 600 works of African art, but also an award-winning Artist Collective. • Quite near enough to many of Pittsburgh’s best loved arts institutions and organizations, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Carnegie Music Hall, and Frick Fine Arts Museum (see the off-campus section for more).
