Campus Programming

Success Coach Graduate Assistant Program

Success Coach Graduate Assistant (SCGA) program pairs counseling psychology graduate students with first- and second-year undergraduate students. The SCGA program works hand-in-hand with a one-credit first-year seminar course called SDE 101: Strategies for Success in College. SDE meets for 50 minutes once per week and is co-instructed by a Success Coach and a professional staff or faculty member at Chatham. Topics include conflict resolution, time and stress management, diversity, equity and inclusion, career development, self and community care, and different types of resources available to students, both at Chatham and throughout the City of Pittsburgh.

The Office of Academic & Accessibility Resources (OAAR)

The goal of Academic & Accessibility Resources is to assist students in becoming active and engaged lifelong learners by offering access to resources, tools, and services that foster academic growth, independence, resilience, and self-advocacy.

The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strives to serve our vision of a fully inclusive and equitable Chatham and our mission of advancing an environment that is inclusive, diverse, mutually respectful, and equitable for all students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We are grounded in the following values:

Equity Mindedness – Calling attention to disparities in resources, rights, and quality of life among historically privileged and marginalized groups.
Intersectionality – Honoring the wholeness and uniqueness of individuals’ lived experiences as a result of holding multiple social identities.
Trauma Informed – Examining the influence and impact of responses to personal, interpersonal, and societal acts of violence.
Expansive Inclusivity – Creating an environment broad and vast enough to encompass all community members, regardless of their background, that encourages authenticity and transformation rather than assimilation and conformity
Restoration – Engaging in community dialogue practices that build relationships and repair harm.
