Town & Gown at Chapman University was founded in 1968 to build meaningful connections between the University (Gown) and the surrounding community (Town). That mission continues today, bringing together generations of friends, supporters, and lifelong learners who share a passion
for Chapman.
Town & Gown welcomes community members, business leaders, alumni, parents and grandparents of Chapman students, current and former faculty and staff, and all friends of Chapman who value education, service, and connection.
