Ursinus Hall of Fame
Chlad became a fixture for the athletics landscape at Ursinus during her 44 years spent on the campus. Chlad joined Ursinus Athletic training staff in 1976 and helped launch the sports medicine and athletic training program into a full-fledged, renowned operation. Chlad became the first credentialed athletic trainer at Ursinus after earning her bachelor's degree in nursing from Widener in 1973. Chlad's position at Ursinus afforded her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the official athletic trainer of the United States Field Hockey Team, coached by a pair of Ursinus alumna in Vonnie Gros and Marge Watson.
Chlad also served as a professor in the Ursinus College Health and Exercise Physiology department. She has served as a board member on the Pennsylvania Athletic Trainers Society, which works to promote the growth of the profession and encourages the employment of athletic trainers in all schools.
