Chatfield College Inducts Students into Honor Societies

Chatfield College, located in Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, recently inducted three members into the Julia Chatfield Honor Society and six members into the Phi Theta Kappa Society during a ceremony on Friday, April 5.

Named in honor of Julia Chatfield, OSU, foundress of the Ursulines of Brown County, the Julia Chatfield Honor Society was formed to honor students who have demonstrated personal integrity through exemplary scholarship, service to others, and moral or spiritual values. Chatfield faculty submitted nominations for membership into the society and eligible students were contacted via a nomination letter.

Members of the Julia Chatfield Honor Society are given pins and gold cords to wear at graduation to commemorate their academic achievement. Students inducted in 2019 included Shawnte Williams, Terry Weathersby, and Arletthe Smith.
