Our students are future teachers and school counselors. Future therapists and criminologists. They’re pursuing a diversity of studies, but they all share a drive to make the world a better place. We provide an outlet for that goal, with rigorous offerings that not only include a robust academic core but see service learning and hands-on experiences as central to ensuring students are prepared to meet big challenges in their communities head-on.

“Chaminade changed me in ways I never knew. It made me feel like I belonged here. It made me smile more, it made me open up to others. I’m a different person in a good, positive way.”
Charylnn Adversalo ’20
B.S. Psychology
 “I appreciated how flexible Chaminade was for graduate students. I was a full-time teacher while being a full-time student. I definitely believe that I brought a servant’s heart and the aloha spirit back with me to DC from Hawaii. Having roots in Hawaii was a benefit for my education career.”
Ryan Tauriainen ’10
Master of Education
“What drew me to school counseling was being able to be an advocate for students, being that voice for some students who might not have one. I am a very strong proponent of putting minorities in places of power so that they can affect change. I think [getting an education] opens doors.”
Raemie Pagaduan ’06
Master of Science in Counseling Psychology
“Growing up I had a passion for wanting to serve my community. Being a criminal justice major gave me insights on minorities and injustices in the system. It opened up this whole new world of opportunities for me and a new passion—hopefully one day, starting a nonprofit for people who were incarcerated and are now out and don’t really know the next steps to getting a job or how to turn their life around.
Claire Riggan ’19
