Today, on National Higher Education Day, Chestnut Hill College celebrates something we've believed in since 1924: higher education has the power to transform lives.

Rooted in the mission of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and guided by our core values of integrity, justice, and inclusion, CHC is proud to offer an education that goes beyond the classroom — one focused on the whole person and on building a more unified, just society.

To our students pursuing their goals, our alumni changing the world, and our faculty and staff who make it all possible: today is for you.
