About Christian Higher Education Month (CHEM)

When Christian Higher Education Month was introduced in October 1999, 95 members and 36 affiliates were brought together under the newly-named Council for Christian Colleges & Universities. Bolstered by House Resolution 300, which declares October to be Christian Higher Education Month, the CCCU takes this time to celebrate the role of Christ-centered colleges in the history of America, as well as the personal and professional benefits of what campuses provide students.  Click here to read the resolution.
