5 Questions With Staff: Pamella Harbin
1. What brought you to Chatham Hall?
I was completing my degree in administrative support technology at Danville Community College in 2016 and the head of the department asked if I was interested in applying for an intern position at Chatham Hall in Admissions which could possibly become a full-time position. I jumped at the opportunity! I was hired in January 2016 part-time and continued full-time starting that July.

2. What’s the best part of being a member of the Admissions Team?
In Admissions, I have the opportunity to work with a team toward the goal of enrolling new students. This admission cycle takes a year to complete, which means what I work on in September is quite different from what I work on in February. I like the variation in tasks and the challenge of working through the admission cycle because every season is different.
3. What do you love most about the Chatham Hall community?
For every event, activity, Chapel, dance recital, play, or game day, everyone is invited to participate in some way. It could be just cheering the Turtles on, saying a prayer during Chapel, saying hello to our visitors, helping unload boxes on move-in day, or just being around. The Chatham Hall family is always there to help and support one another.
4. What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
The people I work with each day! For eight years, I have worked with a great group of professional teammates. We became connected through our work, but the relationships grew into lasting friendships. Also, the people throughout the School that I engage with during the week, and the staff I get to share lunch and birthdays with. All these people have made working at Chatham Hall a pleasure!
5. Purple or Gold?
