What are some of the biggest or most interesting changes you’ve seen in your years at Chapman?
When I matriculated in 1992, Chapman had only recently become a university. Our library was a dreary, one-story building, and the Internet was just starting out. Students would line up at one of four terminals in the library, desperate to see what the ballyhoo was surrounding this World Wide Web thingy. Yeah, things have changed!

Any fun memories or stories from the old days?
My most meaningful memories are sitting in the newly-constructed Argyros Forum eating breakfast burritos with my mom, who worked at Chapman from 1983-1995. She introduced me to members of the Chapman Family whom I still see occasionally on campus today. My mom was in her 40s then, and I’m in my 40s now … There’s an immense sense of pride and tradition in those memories.
