Activities
English Language Program
Activities
The ELP, the OIA and Chatham University offer a wide range of
activities that provide language learners with opportunities to
practice their target language in an informal and relaxing environment.
These activities also foster global understanding, cross-cultural
communication and exchange, and above all, friendships.

Parties
Throughout the year, the OIA hosts several parties including a
“Global Mixer” in September and January to welcome back study abroad
students and to help International students make new connections and
end-of-semester parties, usually held in December and April.
Holiday Celebrations
Sometimes the ELP program teaches about American holidays, but
students can actually participate in any holiday celebrations on
campus, including Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. More information
regarding these celebrations is available in the Student Activities
calendar and MyChatham.
Karaoke Night
One of the best nights during the school year is the
International Karaoke Night. Usually held in November and February,
students who are learning a foreign language and international students
gather together to sing, laugh and party. Check your email from
International Affairs or go to myChatham for more information.
Field Trips
The ELP organizes various field trips in and outside
Pittsburgh. This provides excellent opportunities for students to make
new friends and explore the city of Pittsburgh.
