Chatham University President Esther Barazzone, who has led Chatham since 1992, has received a two-year contract extension through June 30, 2015.
The university's trustees made the announcement Tuesday.
"During Dr. Barazzone's tenure as president, Chatham has made remarkable strides transforming itself from a struggling women's college to a thriving cutting-edge university," said trustees chair S. Murray Rust III in a statement.
"Chatham College for Women has been revitalized, and the College for Graduate Studies and the College for Continuing and Professional Studies have been created and are now well established. The Woodland Road campus has been substantially improved, the Eastside location has been established, and now the School of Sustainability and the Environment at Eden Hall Campus is being created, all under her leadership."
Chatham had about 500 undergraduates in 1992, but today has nearly 2,300 undergraduate and graduate students, both on-site and online.
