Chestnut Hill College

Happy New Year, Griffins! Wishing all of you good health and happiness as we ring in 2021. We can't wait to see you all again on campus in the new year!

We're anxiously awaiting the return of all of our Griffins to campus for a physically distanced but socially engaged spring semester. Before coming to campus, make sure to familiarize yourself with CHC's COVID policies, which can all be found at our website (https://www.chc.edu/return-campus-spring-2021). CHC follows all guidance as outlined by the city of Philadelphia and state of Pennsylvania, so rest assured, we are taking all precautions when it comes to the health and safety of our Griffins!

From our Griffin family to yours, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, the happiest of holidays and a joyous start to the new year!

To all of our friends in the Jewish community, Chestnut Hill College wishes you a very #HappyHanukkah! May this year's Festival of Lights bring joy and blessings to you and your families!

Mask Up CHC! As we look forward to our return to campus living this spring, we wanted to remind everyone of this Good Griffin Tip: Always wear your mask. In order for everyone to start the semester happy and healthy, wearing a mask over the next month is vital and is the best way you can prepare for returning to campus. Make sure to share your photos with us of how you mask up by using #MaskUpCHC. Link in bio for more helpful return to campus resources!

One of our most beloved CHC traditions continues as you can join us tonight to celebrate our first-ever Virtual Carol Night! Decking the halls and the hill with the sights and sounds of the season is one of our favorite pasttimes and we're happy to be able to share a piece of that with our Griffin friends and families this year! Virtual Carol Night begins at 7:30 PM. See the link below to watch along with us! You can also share your photos with us all December long using #HolidayontheHill. We may not be on campus to decorate, but we'd love to see how our Griffins are ringing in the holidays with decorations in your own homes! https://youtu.be/Ppu7lal28kA

Happy Thanksgiving, Griffins! May we give thanks for all we have and remember those who go without. Whether together or apart, we countour many blessings on this day of gratitude.

As we prepare to return to campus this spring, make sure to be a Dear Neighbor and a Good Griffin by engaging in best practices to prevent exposure and spread of COVID-19. Visit our website (link in bio) for more information on helpful tips and make sure to continue to check your email and follow us on social media for the most up-to-date information on our physically distanced but socially engaged spring semester.

Happy Founder's Day to the Sisters of Saint Joseph! We invite you to join us today, Thursday, October 15, at 2:00pm in celebration of Founders' Day. The Sisters of Saint Joseph trace their origins and spirit to six women, who came together in 1650, in war-ravaged LePuy, France, with great desire for union with God, among themselves and with "every sort of neighbor." Under the patronage of Saint Joseph, they dedicated themselves to "the practice of all spiritual and corpor...al works of mercy." The Sisters of Saint Joseph and Associates who serve our Chestnut Hill College campus continue to live out of that original desire: "to live and work so that all people may be united with God and with one another." Join us via Zoom for a 30-minute prayer service with reflections on "unioning love" offered by Cathie Meighan, SSJ and Jeanie Schwille '65, CHC Alumni Association President. Our time together will be an opportunity for joy, prayer, and renewal, leaning into the inclusive and restorative love of our God. https://chc.zoom.us/j/94262672357
