[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Chapman Univercity Homecoming Weekend”][vc_single_image image=”284″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A number of festivities open to the public are planned for this year’s Chapman Homecoming to take place the weekend of homecoming on October 5th – 7th. “The weekend promises to offer something for everyone,” says Mary Platt, Chapman’s Director of Communications and Media Relations.

Activities to take place during the weekend include the homecoming football game, a pep rally, a chili cook-off and alumni reunion day. “We welcome the Orange community and hope they come to join us for activities held on homecoming weekend and all month long, including a wide variety of concerts and lectures,” says Platt.

A highlight of homecoming weekend is the annual Chapman University Toyota of Orange 5K Run/Walk to occur on Saturday, October 6th. Known as the “flattest, fastest and ’funnest’ 5K in the world”, the race winds its way through Old Towne and finishes on the Chapman campus. The University’s President Jim Doti, who recently competed in the San Francisco Marathon, will run in Chapman’s 5K as he does each year. Proceeds from funds raised for the race go to Chapman’s Scholarship Fund.
