The Board has officially retreated and Chatham will remain a college for women. Thank you to the 277 of you who refused to let this institution lose its identity. Keep your eyes on the administration because we will be watching to ensure this commitment holds firm.

This week, Dr. Barazzone and the Board of Trustees asserted that the Save Chatham movement is a "small, passionate group" in opposition to Chatham College for Women going co-educational. But we are more than a handful of vocal alumnae and supporters. We are writing a letter to the editor of local newspapers to show Dr. Barazzone just how many of us do not support her move to take Chatham College for Women to co-education. Please read the letter here (http://bit.ly/1mNqgbx) and add your signature of support below.

STOP THE CO-ED MOVE. Unbelievable that they would even consider this.

Chatham has always been a special place for women. Why change something that works so well? Keep it the way it is!

My time at Chatham was life changing precisely because it was an all women environment. so sad to see them throw that away.

Dr Barazzone needs to listen to the alumnae. We are the backbone of this place and we dont want this change.
