Due to the size of Chapman\u2019s commencement ceremonies, an important annual event, we have put together a schedule to keep our neighbors and friends informed of all activities related to the project.<\/p>\n
Please note: All installation and work for this event is unrelated to the Center for Science and Technology project.<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday, May 14<\/strong> Sunday, May 15<\/strong> Monday, May 16<\/strong> Tuesday, May 17 \u2013 Thursday, May 19<\/strong> Friday, May 20<\/strong> A short pyrotechnic display is planned for the conclusion of this ceremony at approximately 8:15 p.m. Our event producer, Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, is working with the City of Orange to ensure all guidelines are met.<\/p>\n A special note about fireworks: As many animals become alarmed by the noise, it is recommended that you leave your pets inside the house. If you know your pet is sensitive to loud noises, it is also recommended to include a noise distraction, such as television or radio, to lessen the impact.<\/p>\n Also, please feel free to join us in the Aitken Arts Plaza for fireworks as we say farewell to the graduating seniors!<\/p>\n Saturday, May 21<\/strong> Sunday, May 22<\/strong> Monday, May 23<\/strong> Tuesday, May 24<\/strong> Wednesday, May 25<\/strong> As always, we thank you so very much for your support during this exciting time. Please know that Chapman will do everything possible to hold this event with minimal disruption to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 25 – On Friday, May 20th, Chapman University will host its closing convocation to mark the conclusion of the academic year and celebrate Chapman\u2019s graduating students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1457,"featured_media":1116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[37,38,39],"class_list":["post-348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates","tag-commencement","tag-convocation","tag-graduation"],"yoast_head":"\n
