Chatham University
PAE-T2-3: Student Training Opportunities

The Office of Student Affairs provides academic, personal, social, and cultural support to students. Through our programs and services, we strive to promote a campus environment that understands and embraces multiculturalism. Chatham offers culturally rich programming experiences through Diversity Awareness Months events and programs on campus and within the Pittsburgh community. At Chatham University, a series of Fall Diversity Awareness and Celebratory months were implemented to generate awareness and appreciation of diverse cultures, challenge stereotypical perceptions of diverse populations, and assist Chatham University in embracing the diversity of its campus community. In order to serve a diverse population and maintain inclusivity, each Diversity Awareness month had a planning committee comprised of faculty, staff, community members, and students. These committees were formed to discuss programs for various celebrations of cultures and diversity.
