Office of Community Relations

»Welcome, Community!

At Chapman University, we strive to be good neighbors in everything that we do.

The Office of Community Relations proudly serves as a liaison between the University and the residents, city and elected officials, civic organizations, and businesses who call our surrounding communities home.

Whether you are interested in learning more about how the University is engaged with local schools and non-profit organizations, you wish to speak with someone about a challenge in your neighborhood involving students, or you are simply looking for more information on how to catch the next headliner at Musco Center for the Arts. We are always available to help our neighbors.
