Why Chatham University?
“Chatham students have a tendency to go above and beyond what is asked of them. Whenever we host a Chatham intern, I am always impressed by their work ethic and the level of enthusiasm that the student brings to our organization. I wouldn’t hesitate to host another Chatham intern in the future.”
