“Battle of Classes. It really strengthens your bond as a class. The mystery events were very exciting and the Song Contest was the highlight.”

Whew. This is difficult, but I would have to say that it was the “Singing Cities” event that Chatham Choir did with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) alongside 2000 other singers. We sang Verdi – and it was breathtaking! The memory leaves me overcome with awe.

The Vagina Monologues performance was great. I was also secretary of F.A.C.E., a feminist club on campus. We did a lot of awareness work.

I think my favorite first year memory was going on adventures, on and off campus, with my friends. In high school, I was always a bit of a loner because I did not have common interests with the people around me. But when I got to Chatham, I met really awesome people that very well might be friends for life.

1) Going to the Warhol Museum with Dr. Lenz and the 2014 Scholars!
2) Walking the labyrinth for the first time with one of my friends.
3) Doing a group performance piece on the Alan Parsons Project for class. These experiences were vital to my first year – not only did they teach me how loving and creative the class environment is here at Chatham, but they were also essential bonding experiences for me and my peers.
