»Connecting Campus and Community

Chapman University’s Office of Community Relations connects residents, students, and community partners with university resources, programs, and assistance.

What We Do

We strengthen relationships between Chapman University and the surrounding community through communication, education, service, and collaboration. 

Whether you have a neighborhood concern, need help navigating off-campus living, or want to partner with Chapman, our team can help connect you with the right resources. 

How We Help

Residents:  Report neighborhood concerns, access neighborhood resources, connect with Community Relations.

Students:
Find living off-campus resources, understand community expactations, apply for the Community Involvement Grant (CIG), explore local student discounts. 

Community Partners: Panther Experiental Philanthropy Project (PEPP), collaborate on community initiatives (CU in the Community), learn about the Killefer Community Space (Killefer).
