CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT THE MISSION OF CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH HOLISTIC EDUCATION IN AN INCLUSIVE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY MARKED BY ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY, PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH, SERVICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY, AND CONCERN FOR THE EARTH. Chestnut Hill College, founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1924, is an independent, Catholic institution that fosters equality through education. Faithful to its strong liberal arts tradition, Chestnut Hill College offers academic programs of excellence in the areas of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing studies. True to its Catholic heritage, Chestnut Hill College espouses the beliefs and values inherent in the Judeo-Christian tradition while it respects the contributions made by other faith traditions in the development of the whole person. The College nurtures a sense of integrity, spirituality, and social justice in all.

Additional Activities

The College community dedicates itself to four purposes in fulfilling this mission. It seeks: • to provide avenues for students to achieve academic excellence and to pursue research in their major field or in interdisciplinary studies. The College encourages students to explore and experience diverse curricula and to participate in exchange programs over other institutions of higher education. • to initiate links between the world of learning and the world of work through curricular planning, technological opportunities, and career preparation. The College guides students in applying theoretical learning through experiential education designed collaboratively by faculty and students. • to uphold an atmosphere of communal respect in which all may clarify and articulate personal values and beliefs while exploring the ethical and moral dimensions underlying all relationships. The College encourages inter-faith opportunities by acquainting all students with Catholicism, its theology and its Judeo-Christian roots, and by engaging in dialogue with women and men of other beliefs. • to create local and global connections that enable students to respond to the needs of others through service-oriented enterprises. The College educates students to identify and to address issues of social justice and to work toward systemic change. Approved by the Chestnut Hill College Board of Directors, October 7, 2002.

cElEbrating scholarshiP

ince its inception in 1924, Chestnut Hill College has offered a rigorous liberal arts education that continues to evolve over time to prepare our students to meet the ever-changing needs of society. Our success in preparing our students to meet these needs is a direct result of the fact that we are fortunate to have a faculty who exhibit a love for teaching and learning. In addition to their primary task as educators, the Chestnut Hill College faculty contribute many hours of their time in providing service to their students, their departments and the college. ey are also actively engaged in professional research and scholarship. eir dedication and hard work in the areas of teaching, service and scholarship are critical for the success of the College to fulfill its mission. It is my pleasure to recognize the outstanding record of scholarly achievements and activities exhibited by the Faculty during the 2009–2010 academic year. It is important to note that in many cases, these faculty provided invaluable opportunities for our students to become actively involved in this research and scholarship. In doing so, they extended their teaching out of the classroom into the work environment, thereby offering our students invaluable “hands-on” and “on-the-job” training in their particular discipline or area of study. e scholarly accomplishments of a college’s faculty directly influences the academic quality of the institution. In this regard, Chestnut Hill College once again recognizes the diversity of talents among its faculty, is grateful for their contributions to the overall educational experience of the College, and takes pride in sharing and celebrating with you their scholarly activities and accomplishments. Celebrating Scholarship: Chestnut Hill College Faculty Scholarly Activities and Accomplishments 2009–2010 is a tribute to the faculty who continue to shape Chestnut Hill College’s academic landscape through a commitment to excellence in their teaching, scholarship, and service.
