Town & Gown serves as a vital link between the university (gown) and the community (town) by sharing information about Chapman and offering academic and social programs, such as Lunch at the Forum. One of Chapman’s most active support groups, members include community residents, business leaders, alumni, parents and grandparents of Chapman students, Chapman faculty and staff, as well as other friends of the university.
Founded in 1971, this dynamic group of philanthropic-minded women is dedicated to serving and supporting Chapman University. Their signature fundraising event, Christmas at The Ritz, has raised more than $2 million for scholarships, capital campaigns and more.
Chapman50 is an exclusive group designed to connect influential Chapman University alumni leaders in a university-wide network unlike any other. Comprising fifty founding members under the age of 50, Chapman50 enacts the mission of Chapman University by encouraging alumni leadership and professional development in all fifty states and across the globe. Candidates are civic and professional leaders capable of accelerating Chapman’s international reputation.
Chapman graduates can volunteer their time at events and in alumni groups across campus. Alumni can also get involved by facilitating internships, jobs and career development opportunities for students and graduates.
There are many opportunities for parents and families of current students and graduates to take an active role at Chapman University by getting involved and volunteering their time.
