Current students have said that their Academic Scholarship Day helped reinforce that Chatham was the right place for them and made them ahead of the game in planning out their college careers.

"My interviewer on Scholarship Interview Day actually became my academic advisor, too. Talking and feeling comfortable with her that day had a big impact on my decision to attend Chatham."—Rebekah Dunn '17

Build Relationships, Build Your Career

Interviews take place with faculty in your academic area of interest, and many students report choosing the professors they meet with as their academic advisors. Throughout your time at Chatham, your advisor not only guides your studies, but also helps with internship, employment, and post-graduate opportunities. Attending Academic Scholarship Day can be the start of that connection that lasts well beyond your time at Chatham.
