MEET THE MEMBERS
Passionate, dedicated, resilient
Beyond Resilience – The Campaign for Chestnut Hill College and our efforts to honor Sister Carol would not be possible without the dedication and persistent effort of numerous members of our beloved CHC community. During the pandemic, we assembled one of the largest teams ever of volunteers to reach alumni and friends near and far, and to celebrate Sister Carol’s 30-year tenure as president.
The success of these efforts is a result of the commitment of many selfless individuals who have given generously of their time and talents to work as a team to ensure that the College honors Sister Carol in a manner befitting her legacy, which includes meeting our campaign goal.
We are thrilled to introduce you to the various individuals and committees that have been working quietly behind the scenes to help ensure that Chestnut Hill College is here for another 100 years, and beyond.
