Hello Panther Family! My name is Victor Arteaga, and I am honored to serve as your Chapman University Fire Marshal. With a strong background in emergency medicine and serving almost 30 years in the fire service; I bring a high level of expertise to best support our Panther community. As Chapman University continues to grow and excel, I am committed to providing the highest fire safety prevention standards to ensure the safety of our students and faculty.
