Upcoming Events…
Join us again, on November 1st, for the second event in our 2024-25 CHAS Occasional Speaker Series: a conversation on social movements and student activism with Dr. Amanda Joyce Hall, assistant professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).
Skidmore College will be hosting the next CHAS Student of Color Leadership Conference, April 4-6, 2025. More details will be available in early 2025.
Founded in 2000, as the oldest consortium of liberal arts colleges and universities in the US with a specific focus on student of color achievement, the Consortium on High Achievement and Success (CHAS) envisions a higher education landscape where institutions create and sustain the conditions for students of color to reach the highest levels of intellectual achievement, personal growth, and professional development.
Over the years, our scope has expanded — evolving into a platform for peer learning, networking, and professional development opportunities, aimed at advancing strategies to better support and retain students, faculty and staff of color at member institutions. CHAS member institutions are committed to cultivating environments that support the thriving of every member of our campus communities.
CHAS is financially supported by member institutions and generously hosted by Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut. If your institution is interested in joining CHAS, please contact us.
