Students and faculty gathered yesterday afternoon in the Crean Hall Atrium at the First Annual Crean College of Health & Behavioral Sciences Harvest. The many participants enjoyed provided lunch, socialized, and donated to two great causes. The Harvest was created in order to give the Crean community the opportunity to assist surrounding communities and build a stronger unity between students, faculty and staff. \u00a0Netasha Pizano, the Crean College Student Representative from Chapman\u2019s Student Government Association, who helped organize the event said, \u201cThis is an opportunity to build new relationships, create tradition, and to provide a service for other citizens in the Orange County Community.\u201d<\/p>\n
