Chanel Young is the Senior Associate Director of Admissions at Chestnut Hill College. She has an array of experience in different sectors within the higher education field. Chanel is a native of Philadelphia, an alumna of Philadelphia High School for Girls, and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. Chanel’s passion for helping others and intangible spirit has led her to want to impact students' lives and help them succeed in college. She works with prospective first-year students interested in starting their college journey and ensuring they finish to obtain their degree. What Chanel loves about CHC is the sense of belonging and community created when you walk through the doors. The faculty, staff, and students make you feel like you are a part of a family. She highly recommends if you are looking for a home away from home, then CHC “The Hill” is the place for you. In Chanel’s free time, she loves to try new restaurants, travel, go bowling, sing karaoke, and enjoys mystery and true crime shows. She also is a huge football fan and loves when she has a chance to see her favorite team in person, the EAGLES! Education: Chanel has a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Ethnic Studies from Shippensburg University and an M.Ed in Higher Education with a concentration in Student Affairs from Temple University.

I am a graduate of Clark Atlanta University, BA in Fashion Design and Merchandising and Southern New Hampshire University, MA in Communications. I am new to the world of higher ed and have enjoyed my time at CHC thus far. I would recommend CHC because Chestnut Hill College gives students the best of both worlds, academically and personally. We are a small school and students benefit greatly from the small class sizes and the 1:1 attention given from both professors and academic advisors alike. Our campus is within close proximity to stadiums, restaurants, nature trails, and many more local activities. The campus is on a SEPTA bus route which makes coming and going easy.   

I am originally from Abington, PA and primarily work with students from all parts of New Jersey. Outside of work you can find me running after a very active and talkative two -year-old, making candles, and taking naps whenever possible.  

Chris is the Associate Director of Global Studies. In this role, he works with both incoming international students and outgoing U.S. students studying abroad. Chris believes strongly in the importance of global perspective in education. He has spent 20 years in the study abroad field, including 18 years at Arcadia University as Program Manager for 10 countries on 3 continents, and a year at Temple University overseeing global visa activities for students and faculty. He lived in the Philippines for 3 years, teaching at the International School of Manila, and counseling for the crisis line at the In Touch Foundation. Chris earned his B.S. in Education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. He grew up in the Philadelphia area and is fortunate to have spent a significant amount of time during his childhood with family in northern Greece, which began his love of travel and global learning.

When not working with students, Chris plays guitar in a local band, spends as much time as possible at the beach, and follows the Philadelphia sports scene (especially the Union and Flyers).
