How do you make networking fun?\u00a0 Attend the Chapman Alumni Mixer.<\/p>\n

More than 500 Chapman University alumni did just that as they gathered at the twinkle-lit outdoor patios of Lionsgate Headquarters in Santa Monica to share drinks, stories, and appetizers.\u00a0 Oh, and business cards, of course.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Hosted every spring, Chapman\u2019s Alumni Entertainment Industry Mixer is held at Lionsgate Headquarters in Santa Monica, CA. Lionsgate, a top employer of Chapman talent, has been home to over 150 Chapman alumni including COO of home entertainment and global content delivery, Akin Ceylan \u201990.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sponsored by a variety of Chapman’s schools and colleges, and hosted by the Career and Professional Development office, this annual event is proving to be a must for Chapman alumni.\u00a0 Each year, the mixer boasts record-breaking numbers of alumni and current students who come out to reconnect with old friends, meet new faces, and network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alumni mixer has been a staple. It\u2019s great to see what other people are doing, and it\u2019s opened up opportunities for me, too,\u201d says William Schoenfeld \u201913<\/strong>, \u201cThis event says a lot about the Chapman family.\u00a0 Every year this gets bigger and bigger. Everyone is so excited not just to network but to share their experience.\u00a0 It\u2019s an extraordinarily positive amalgamation of so many people from so many different walks of life yet Chapman unites them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Guests enjoyed getting to know many of Chapman University\u2019s unique schools and colleges throughout the evening, including co-sponsors Dodge College of Film and Media Arts; Argyros School of Business and Economics; Fowler School of Law; College of Performing Arts, Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences; Attallah College of Educational Studies; and Schmid College of Science and Technology.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Alumni Mixer does indeed unite grads from different fields and walks of life.\u00a0 Akin Ceylan \u201990, Chief Operating Officer of home entertainment and global content delivery for Lionsgate<\/strong> and former president of the Chapman Alumni Association, also praised the interdisciplinarity that describes the Chapman experience: \u201cWe have a wide array of the college and university schools represented here, from Fowler School of Law to the Argyros School of Business and Economics. It shows that we\u2019ve got a representation of all types of disciplines that actually belong<\/em> in the entertainment industry.\u00a0 And that\u2019s what makes the entertainment industry grow\u2014having all those different perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panthers from all industries came out to meet, mingle, and share their experiences.\u00a0 Naveed Mahhoobian (JD \u201911)<\/strong> said, \u201cThis event is special because we\u2019re all here from all the different schools of Chapman, and it\u2019s great to meet people from the industry from whatever field you\u2019re in\u2014and connections are everything when it comes to entertainment, and just business in general.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heidi Swanson<\/strong>, undergraduate career advisor at Chapman’s Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences, also believes there\u2019s a place for diverse fields in the entertainment industry\u2014including the health sciences. \u201cRecently I\u2019ve seen a lot of interest in therapy through dance, through performance, through movement, and there\u2019s a lot of partnership opportunities through physical therapy and performance or communication therapy, speech language pathology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
For Los Angeles Alumni (and many socal alumni,) this is the night of the year. It is widely known that entertainment is a top industry for Chapman alumni to work in, but the vast variety of functions represented by Panthers in entertainment is what is truly unique. From game coding to film production, operations, legal counsel, marketing, writing, acting and consulting\u2014Chapman\u2019s got the industry covered.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For many, collaboration across fields wouldn\u2019t be possible without the Chapman connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event is really important to me because it brings our community together. It\u2019s really a testament to the breadth of talent in the entertainment market that Chapman has put out there, as well as the foundation we share from Chapman.\u201d Akin said. \u201cWhen I meet another Chapman alum, I already have a sense of their core values\u2014and that\u2019s something I can count on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almog Avidan Antonir \u201913<\/strong>, director of Almonia Productions and a Dodge alumnus, is quick to share: \u201cI talk about Chapman all the time.\u201d\u00a0 The freelance writer-director continues, \u201cChapman really paved the way for my career and the connections I\u2019ve made have helped carry me post-grad, and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am now without the Chapman family.\u201d Antonir\u2019s own Chapman family helped him create a successful web-series \u201cLong Story Short,\u201d and sketch group, \u201cAlmost Cool,\u201d with his Chapman friends, Tom Assam-Miller \u201914<\/strong>, Heston Horwin \u201914,<\/strong> and Chase Cargill \u201814<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cLong Story Short\u201d was named one of the Top 10 Web-Series of 2014 by \u201cLA Weekly,\u201d and the \u201cAlmost Cool\u201d group has worked with brands including Sony, Lionsgate, Bud Light, 20th<\/sup> Century Fox, and more.\u00a0 Antonir says, \u201cIt\u2019s been great to see old and new faces tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Friends new and old cheered and celebrated together at one of Chapman alumni\u2019s favorite annual events.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Alumni Mixer isn\u2019t just for grads\u2014Rebecca Pirayou MBA ’19<\/strong> came to the Alumni Mixer with a dream to work in the entertainment industry even before she was a Chapman student. Now, Pirayou is graduating this spring with her MBA and is also involved in Chapman\u2019s Entertainment Onramp program.\u00a0 While at Chapman, she\u2019s worked on films, assisted on sets, and had opportunities to make connections in the film and law schools. \u201cI came out tonight to reinforce that I can do this and go after it. This event is where I met a lot of who guided me and helped me.\u00a0 I hope that other people find that. I definitely think it\u2019s a really important night for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arianna Ngnomire ’19<\/strong>, says, \u201cIt was a great to connect with people who were seniors previously, and see if I can get involved in their projects.\u201d The BFA screen\u2013acting major is graduating this spring, and plans to focus on creating projects that reflect both people of color and queer people.<\/p>\n

One word to describe the evening? \u201cEntertaining.\u201d Ngnomire says, \u201cIt\u2019s nice to let go and not to have to impress each other. I laughed more than I thought I was going to! I thought I was going to have to be real serious.\u00a0 Seeing my peers and people who I look up to do amazing things was awesome.\u201d\u00a0 She concludes, \u201cThis is a reminder of what a Chapman education can get me.\u00a0 This is a reminder of what you can create yourself and be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a spirited group cheers, a few lucky alumni walked away from the night with more than business cards and memories\u2014a selection of 10 impressive Chapman prizes baskets were raffled off.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
