Note: Chaminade Weekly – not so weekly

Due to a significant increase in print deadlines, a significant decrease in news content this time of year and busy holiday schedules in the Institutional Advancement office, the Chaminade Weekly will be a bit more sporadic until the next semester begins. Thanks for your patience, and please keep sending us your news. We’ll try our best to make it as often as possible. Happy holidays!
