From Paul Sitkoff, Public Information Officer, City of Orange:

On Friday, September 30, Dr. Daniele Struppa will be officially inaugurated as Chapman University’s thirteenth President. Chapman University will be marking the occasion with 8 days of festivities, starting Sunday, September 25, through Sunday, October 2.

We anticipate that the inauguration will significantly increase both vehicle and foot traffic in Old Towne Plaza/Chapman University area during the various events. If you live or work in the Old Towne area, please be aware that the Orange City Council has approved a suspension of the parking permit restrictions for Permit Parking Area “A” for the duration of the inauguration.

There will be several different events, includes guest lectures, receptions, a picnic, and an ice cream social. While some will be by-invitation only, others are open to the community.
