And as our university grows and expands its areas of study, so does our diversity, drive, and leadership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/03\/adam-coughran-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3556\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-3556 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/03\/adam-coughran-3.jpg\" alt=\"adam-coughran-3\" width=\"227\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/03\/adam-coughran-3.jpg 969w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/03\/adam-coughran-3-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/03\/adam-coughran-3-768x711.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/a>As I think back to my Chapman experience, I realize just how important alumni donors were to my education. I, like many others, attended Chapman on an academic scholarship. Not only did this ease the burden of tuition to my family and I, but in all reality it was the only way I was able to attend Chapman. As I meet other alumni, I hear similar stories. And even now, as we get ready to add the next round of amazing students to our Chapman alumni network, I hear current students talk about how their scholarships have allowed them to attend Chapman and how this support is\u00a0truly changing their lives.<\/p>\n<p>All of this got me thinking&#8230; With my experience, along with so many others, what could I do to show my support toward this graduating class? It then occurred to me that making a small gift to the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/support-chapman\/chapman-fund\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"> Chapman Fund <\/a>to support student scholarships and faculty would help in more ways than one. A gift to the Chapman Fund is not only a way to celebrate the Class of 2015 and welcome them to our alumni community, it\u2019s also a way to ensure that future generations have the same incredible Chapman experience we had. It is my hope that my story and my gift to the Chapman Fund will inspire fellow alumni to give back and join me in honoring the many ways Chapman has transformed our lives. All alumni gifts, no matter the amount, make a strong statement about our belief in our alma mater and our commitment to its future.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing to support Chapman University, even after graduation, has become a priority in my life.
