“My daughter, Lauren, is in kindergarten at St. John’s in Orange and their spring project was to learn about their community, specifically Old Towne Orange.  Each child was assigned a building in Old Towne Orange, and then the teacher set up all the buildings to create their own little city.  My daughter picked Chapman University as her building (I *
may
* have encouraged her to pick it!).  She paper-mached Memorial Hall and it was quite the hit among the kids in her class.” —Kristi Deschenes, department assistant, Office of Executive Vice President
