I came to Chapman on a piano scholarship in 1977. I started as a music major but graduated in 1981 with a Bachelors in Business and a minor in music. I got married in 1982, at the Chapman Chapel on Grand and Maple, to a man I met at Chapman my freshman year. We both went back to Chapman to get our master\u2019s degrees. <\/em><em>We moved away from Orange to Apple Valley, for 30 years, raised 3 children and now have 4 <\/em><em>grandsons. Our lives have now brought us back to Orange. We bought a home, just down the <\/em><em>street from Chapman in Old Towne Orange, 2 \u00bd years ago with one of our sons and a daughter-in-law. They live in the historic front home, and my husband and I built a cottage at the back of the property, where we live. Intergenerational living is the best! <\/em><em>Our goal in moving to Orange was to not only downsize, but to live in a walkable community. <\/em><em>I\u2019ve always loved the City of Orange. In addition to enjoying lots of time with my grandsons and <\/em><em>family, my days are filled with other activities ranging from teaching online for a community <\/em><em>college and ushering at Musco Center, to involvement on both the Chapman Alumni Board and Town <\/em><em>&amp; Gown Board. Living in Orange has afforded me the opportunity to be able to be local and give <\/em><em>back to Chapman. My hobbies include reading (I always have a book in cue) and podcasts (cannot get enough of them!), exercising (primarily spinning, yoga, and walking), and thrift store <\/em><em>shopping (always on the lookout for treasure). I love being an active ager in a vibrant <\/em><em>community!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-292 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-768x988.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-1194x1536.jpg 1194w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-1593x2048.jpg 1593w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/01\/Valerie-Smith-Pic-scaled.jpg 1991w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Welcome, Valerie \u2013 the Chapman family is delighted to have you \u201creturn home&#8221;!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Town and Gown is pleased to spotlight new member Valerie Smith and to welcome her to the T&amp;G family.\u00a0 She [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4892,"featured_media":192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","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":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","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":"Mary Silzel","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlights"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chapman Town &amp;
