Town & Gown is a nonprofit group of community residents, business leaders, alumni, parents and grandparents of Chapman students, Chapman faculty and staff, as well as other friends of the university. Founded in 1968, it serves as a vital link between the university (gown) and the community (town) by sharing information about Chapman and offering academic and social programs, such as Lunch at the Forum, to both on- and off-campus groups.
