Summer 2008

Summer Welcome Receptions
Chapman families across the nation are opening their homes this summer to host Welcome Receptions. These are informal events that unite current students, families, and alumni together to welcome our new students and their parents to the Chapman Family. This is an engaging way for new students to meet others and get to know Chapman. Please check the reception schedule to see if you can join us in your own city or wherever you may be this summer. Register and View Dates
