150 Anniversary Documentary
Part 1
On December 11th, 1869, a Charter of Incorporation was granted by the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County. Beneath this straightforward legal act lay an idea many considered radical: that the women of western Pennsylvania and beyond had the capacity, the desire, and the right to a secondary education equal to that of men. Pennsylvania Female College was born.

Part 2
Pennsylvania College for Women saw dramatic changes in our country and society, from the Gilded Age to the Great Depression, to two world wars and countless women’s movements. Starting with a successful student-led effort to change PFC’s name to Pennsylvania College for Women in 1890, that progressive spirit combined with the college’s encouraging atmosphere to produce eight decades of world-ready women, including visionary author and conservationist Rachel Carson.
150 Anniversary Documentary
Part 3
Chatham College met the tumultuous times of America’s mid-century with capability and enthusiasm. Strengthening our indelible connection to Pittsburgh with a name change to Chatham College in 1955, Chatham students would go on to participate in civil demonstrations on a local and a worldwide scale, from rallies for civil rights to protests against the Vietnam war. As the college faced economic uncertainty in the late 20th century, one truth remained constant: an institutional commitment to bravely embrace change.

Part 4
In just over ten years, Chatham College underwent a transformational journey to become Chatham University as we know it today. After being granted university status in 2007 with the addition of graduate programs, Chatham has continued to innovate— adding Eastside and Eden Hall Campus and welcoming all genders of students with our first co-educational undergraduate class. Looking out to the next 150 years of our story, we believe our students will continue Chatham’s legacy in creating a bright future for generations to come.
