The first-ever #GetTheScoop #ChapmanChill ice cream social was held on August 19 and 20, where students enjoyed free ice cream treats while learning valuable tips for being a good neighbor in Old Towne Orange. Each attendee received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/campus-services\/community-relations\/info-for-students\/off-campus-guide\/index.aspx\"><em>The Panther\u2019s Guide to Living Off Campus<\/em><\/a>, a helpful resource covering local amenities, quiet hours, parking guidelines, and ways to keep our community safe, respectful, and connected.<\/p>\n<p>Much like the nostalgic charm of childhood ice cream truck visits, this event adds a Chapman touch by blending fun with community-minded responsibility. It is an opportunity for students to meet neighbors, connect with friends, and start the school year with a positive commitment to the place we all call home. Together, we can ensure that the year ahead is filled with sweet connections and shared community pride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Chapman Claims Top Spot in Best of Orange Awards for Education Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-347 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/09\/Town-Talk-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/09\/Town-Talk-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/09\/Town-Talk-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/town-and-gown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2025\/09\/Town-Talk-2.jpg 892w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Tessa Jones, Vice President of Event Operations; Alisa Driscoll, Vice President of Community Relations; Mandy Moncure, Community Relations Manager<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We are excited to announce that Chapman University has been named the winner in the \u201cBest Education Services\u201d category at the 2025 Best of Orange Awards.
