Composed solely of Chapman alumni, the committee&#x2019;s goal is to be a sounding board for alumni across the country and around the world. Some of the committee&#x2019;s plans thus far include a new Instagram account geared specifically to alumni and engaging blog posts about everything from Chapman Sweethearts to highlighting the accomplishments of individual alumni. Any alumna or alumnus can participate; close proximity to campus is not required.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nIf you want to get more involved with Chapman and share your voice, contact Ariana Burris (JD &#8217;09), committee chair, at<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:arianaburris@gmail.com\">arianaburris@gmail.com.<\/a><br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Meet the Committee<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#xD;<\/p>\n<h4><strong> Ariana Burris, Chair<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3255\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2014\/12\/Ariana-Burris.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3255\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3255 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2014\/12\/Ariana-Burris.jpg\" alt=\"ariana-burris\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\n Ariana Buris (JD &#8217;09)<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graduation year and degree:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#xA0;JD &#8217;09&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current city:<\/strong><br \/>\n Cowan Heights, CA&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Occupation:<\/strong><br \/>\n Attorney&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite class at Chapman:<\/strong><br \/>\n Constitutional Law with Professor Celestine McConville.

I am proud of my time at Chapman and I&#8217;m&#xA0;eager to see the school and the student body continue to grow and succeed.
