Community Enjoys Family Weekend Festivities

Chatham Hall
The campus was bustling with activity over last Friday and Saturday, as family and friends joined the Chatham Hall community for Family Weekend.
The festivities started Thursday evening, with the National Honor Society induction of 17 new members. In a ceremony held at St. Mary’s Chapel, NHS chapter advisor, Dr. Erin McHugh, welcomed the new members and remarked on the outstanding academic achievements of the Chatham Hall community.  Of the event, Dr. McHugh said, “We were proud to induct new members to the National Honor Society.  In addition to impressive academic records, our new inductees all demonstrate strong leadership, a commitment to service, and commendable character. ” A list of the inductees can be found below.

On Friday morning, Rector Suzanne Buck delivered a welcome address to parents, friends, and visitors in St. Mary’s Chapel, which was followed by classes designed to give the visitor a sense of the semester thus far. In the afternoon, senior athletes were recognized during a special recognition ceremony, and the fall teams played their Purple versus Gold games. The night was capped off by a special dinner in Van Voorhis Lecture Hall for families and friends with desserts, great conversation, and a band.

The Junior class came back together on Saturday morning for the Best College Fit workshop, led by former college Dean of Admissions and industry analyst, Peter Van Buskirk. Best College Fit gives families the tools they need to find the healthiest and most productive college fit for their student by closing the informational gap between the rhetoric coming from a college and the reality. You can learn more about this excellent session by visiting the Best College Fit website.

In all, Family Weekend provided an excellent opportunity for friends and family to get a taste of the students' daily lives, and to enjoy the warmth and welcome of the Chatham Hall community.
