A brief description of the practice of including community service on transcripts, if applicable:
Chatham University offers a co-curricular transcript, which is an official document of Chatham University just like an Academic Transcript, but designed to recognize and validate student certifications, honors, awards, leadership positions, and other campus and community involvement. Chatham University is proud of the community service that the students, faculty and staff have been involved in. Chatham University has been admitted to the 2015 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for engaging its students, faculty, and staff in meaningful service that achieves measurable results in the community. This is Chatham University’s fourth consecutive year being named this honor.

A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Chatham University employees are encouraged to take part in several community service initiatives throughout the year. This past year, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Chatham students, faculty, and staff spent the morning volunteering at four different services sites in the local Pittsburgh area. Chatham volunteers helped to coordinate MLK Day performances at Kelly Strayhorn Theater, cleaned creek banks with Nine Mile Run, beautified riverbanks with Friends of the Riverfront, and created seed packets with the Student Conservation Association. Chatham employees also take part in University Day: Buckets & Blossoms during which students, faculty, and staff spend the morning beautifying Chatham’s campus by mulching, planting flowers and trees, weeding, and removing litter. Chatham also hosts two annual fundraisers: Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society and the Empty Bowls Hunger Banquet, which benefits the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Employees are encouraged to attend these events to show their support and to donate to the causes.
