During my journey for greater education, I have had the pleasure of meeting some great people within Chapman, as well as externally. As a student veteran myself, there is a unique potential of finding a mentor that focuses their knowledge on military veterans. Veterans should take advantage of the powerful combination of their military experience and
Finishing my first year as a graduate student of the Argyros School of Business & Economics, I have learned a lot, including a deeper understanding of the word “service.” This comes following my time serving in the Navy and following my first year of pursuing my MBA degree.

Ever try to speak with corporate leaders and try to explain what the difference between an enlisted rank 7 and an MBA? A veteran has been doing it for 20 years.

The Chapman Panthers team came out in full force Sunday morning, September 28th, for the Susan Komen 5k. What a great job the team did representing Chapman University.
