Alumni Circle

The Alumni Circle was formed in 2001 to provide a forum for mid- to senior-level alumni and entrepreneurs to advise and work with our deans and administrators on programs and initiatives to benefit the college.

Our Mission is to develop and execute innovative programs in alignment with the College’s strategic plan, which supports student development and addresses the needs of the business community through deeper community involvement.

Membership in the Alumni Circle is through nomination by the executive dean of the College of Business Administration and Chapman Graduate School of Business, the Circle's chairperson, and/or current, active members of the Circle.

The Circle's chair is Lance Benson. The members are listed below.
