Get Involved

As a Chestnut Hill College alumna or alumnus, you can reconnect to the Griffins community in many ways. You can give back to your college in many ways, too, to make the College and its heritage even stronger.

The Alumni Relations Office welcomes the participation of alums who are interested in engaging fellow and future Griffins, who make a positive impact and help Chestnut Hill College grow. Join us today.
