As the Dodgers and Brewers face off in the playoffs, two familiar voices are calling the action: Stephen Nelson ’11 for the Dodgers and Jeff Levering ’05 for the Brewers! Both Chapman alumni turned their on-campus experiences into careers in the big leagues, and their connection is a reminder that the Panther Network reaches all the way to the broadcast booth.🐾⚾️ Read more here: https://news.chapman.edu/2026/09/25/called-up-to-the-big-leagues/

We kicked off Homecoming weekend by celebrating a very special milestone: our Class of 1976’s 50-Year Reunion! 🎉

From reminiscing about their Chapman days and finding their old dorm rooms to seeing just how much campus has grown, it was a day full of memories, laughter and reconnecting with old friends.

Yuri Scharan ’16 may not be able to make it back to Orange for his 10-year reunion this weekend, but he wanted to send a message to his fellow Panthers and wish everyone a wonderful Homecoming!
 
He shared how much he loves and misses Chapman and all the people who made his experience so special. 🥹
