Although Commencement has been postponed until further notice, the Chapman Family will still come together on May 22, 2020, for virtual celebrations to honor the Class of 2020! These events are not meant to replace the actual Commencement, but instead give us a way to celebrate together the academic year and the chapter of your life as a Panther at Chapman University.  Get ready to celebrate…online!

Other Virtual Celebrations

Anyone seeking information about virtual events hosted by other schools and colleges should get in touch with them directly for details.

Why Facebook?

Since Facebook is more widely used by parents and extended family members of our graduates, it was selected as the primary platform. You don’t need a Facebook account to watch the event but you do need one to like, comment, and share.

Follow Us on Social Media
