“My summer internship with an office broker enhanced my insight into the real estate world and how to build your own business. Through my experience I learned how to set your own work hours, build your client book and to work with national as well as international clients. During the three months I walked over 300 buildings in Orange County, researched over 500 companies as potential contacts and shadowed brokers in office, industrial and retail space on both landlord and tenant sides. Real Estate and Entrepreneurship are my desired industry and my summer internship provided some great experiences and solidified my post graduation plans.” Casey Shen, MBA '15, Intern at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in their Newport Beach, CA office. #ChapmanMBA #SummerInternship #RealEstate #TakeBoldSteps #MBAintern

"My two and a half months working as a volunteer/intern in India were motivated by the huge influence Indian culture has on international business. I wanted to immerse myself in the culture, learning about the work of an NGO, and have a philanthropic focus away from a traditional office setting. My work focused on teaching sociology, tourism management and giving computer classes. I also established a six-months curriculum, spanning all areas of education that a young Indian adult should be familiar with. It was an impressive time and in combination with my previous international experiences from six months in China as well as several other places, I am convinced it prepared me for challenging jobs in the future - hopefully in Asia."

Happy #SweetheartSunday! Jennifer (Beattie) Baiocchi ’97 married Christopher Baiocchi ’98 on April 6, 2002 in Irvine, Calif. The couple met at Professor Pat See's honors class, "In Search of Relationships.” Their love story according to Jennifer: “We met in class and became great friends. Even dated while at Chapman. But it wasn't until after we both graduated and I came back from a year in Ohio that we fell in love. Chris proposed at Disneyland in the spot where we had our first kiss—the fountain by the Haunted Mansion—and the rest is history!” Alumni in the wedding party included Grace Chen '97, Jennifer Celaya-Davis '97, Katrina Hatfield Brown '98, Megan McDonald '99 and Desiree Cabinte '99.

Meet Christina Mathieson (Class of 2017) and hear about her experience in the MFT Program at Chapman University . . . "My time in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program has been more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined. I have grown academically and professionally due to the programs high academic standards and encouragement for self growth. The constant support from the faculty provided me the courage to take advantage of the numerous opportunities and experiences offered and allowed me to continue to grow as a student and as a therapist. This has helped strengthen my ability to connect with others, providing me with the tools to help others during difficult times. This journey has helped solidify my passion and desire to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I thank the program and my professors for guiding me through this wonderful experience."
