Who remembers the electric slide? Back in the 1990s it was all the rage and this clip from recently preserved footage of the 1992 holiday dance shows just how much fun was had in the Welker Room! Booggie woogie! . . . #archivalfilms #preservation #holiday #danceparty #electricslide #boogie #chathamu #dance #holidayparty #90s #chathamalums

Thanksgiving will look a little different this year than most, but that kinda makes us more grateful for the times we can break bread with our friends and family. With that in mind, we’re sharing a few snapshots of the Chatham Thanksgiving Dinner from 1983 and 1995 and keeping all our friends in mind as we approach the holiday this year. . . . #chathamarchives #archives #yearbooks #chathamalums #chathamtradition #thankgiving #chathamu #oldphotos #thanksgiving #gratitude

Much like students watching election returns this week, these members of the class of 1980 and the class of 1981 gather around the television in one of the campus dorms. Though the media format may have changed dramatically in the forty-odd years since this image was captured, students of today are just as engaged in current events as ever. Any #chathamalums out there remember adjusting the rabbit ear antenna on the dorm TV? . . . #archives #currentevents #oldphotos #oldmedia #news #electionreturns #election2020 #throwbackthursday #tbt #selfcare #television #vintage #antennae
