»I'M IN! Chapman Faculty-Staff Giving
"I’m proud to give to I’M IN! because Chapman University has given so much to the community. By coming together, we create opportunities for students, strengthen the programs we care about, and keep the Chapman Experience thriving for the next generation."
“Chapman has shaped not just my life, but also my child’s. Giving is my way of paying it forward so that others can share in the same opportunities and community that meant so much to us.”
"I give back because I know how it feels not to be able to procure textbooks required for classes. I also give because of the assistance I received from Chapman College while I was a student."
As a member of the faculty or staff at Chapman, you invest your time and talent in the University and our students every day. Your tireless work, energy and commitment ensures Chapman can continue to deliver on its mission and ascend the list of America’s top universities. Thank you for all you do.
