Alumni Circle
Back to: Home

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 for our members not only contribute their ideas and energy to the Circle’s projects but also their financial support. Through their generosity, critical, market-driven projects are funded for success, and our student associations are supported.

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 Gloria Roses-Romero. The members are listed below.

To learn more about becoming a member of the Alumni Circle, contact the Office of Alumni and Partner Relations.

You also may inquire about the program by completing our Alumni Information Form.
