»Dean of Students

The Dean of Students Office is committed to helping students navigate their Chapman experience successfully. The programs, services, and resources provided by our departments aim to support students' learning inside and outside of the classroom, and offer support when difficulties arise.

Students will develop an honest understanding and appreciation of themselves and an ability to make individual choices that promote their health and well-being.

A Framework for Personal Ethics and Values
Students will develop a framework of consistent ethics and values that guide their daily lives.

An Ability to Apply Critical Thought
Students will make effective decisions grounded in careful, objective analysis of information, experiences, and ideas.

An Ability to Develop and Sustain Meaningful Relationships
Students will develop skills to establish and sustain healthy, meaningful interpersonal relationships.

A Value and Respect for Differences
Students will recognize, respect, and value diverse experiences, ideas, backgrounds, and identities.

A Commitment to Citizenship
Students will understand their role and responsibilities within local and global communities and commit to becoming an engaged member.

A Pursuit of Lifelong Learning
Students will develop an intellectual curiosity and desire for continual learning both within and beyond formal education.
