Happy #SweetheartSunday! Meghan (O'Brien) Taylor (J.D. ’09) married Hunter Taylor (J.D. ’07) on January 3, 2009 in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. The couple met at Chapman’s Fowler Law School. Their love story according to Meghan: “I signed up for Professor Howe's criminal law study group my first year of law school and met the third-year student who was leading our group, Hunter. I thought he was cute, so I paid attention closely, and criminal law was my highest grade that semester! By the time I graduated, Hunter and I were married. We now live in Old Towne Orange with our three-year-old son.” Alumni in the wedding party included Austin Holt ’08 (who married Meghan’s sister in 2011).

A note from Dr. Amy Graziano, Chair & Professor in The Hall-Musco Conservatory of Music: As you read last week, it is with great sadness that I report that one of our colleagues, Michael Martin, passed away recently. Michael was Associate Professor of Music and taught at Chapman full-time from 1984 - 2006. For most of his time at Chapman he was the only composition instructor. He ran the composition division, taught composition, Music Theory III and IV and Music History III and IV. Michael was one of the smartest, most knowledgeable people I have ever known. He was very well-read in philosophy and all sorts of obscure literature, he could recite the libretto to most of the entire Ring Cycle from memory, and he had eclectic musical taste—once I had a conversation with him where he talked enthusiastically about Wagner and then suddenly switched to an equally enthusiastic discussion about Björk. He knew so much about quirky, non-American films and their music that I asked him to guest lecture in my film music class for many years (even after he retired). I still talk about him as an example in my introductory music history class for music majors (Compendium) when I get to the 20th century: after explaining Serialism, I describe how Michael told me he could hear all the transformations of a tone row in an unfamiliar Serial work during the first listening. Michael also had a private piano studio and taught the child prodigy Kit Armstrong (prodigy both on piano and in composition). I know those of us who knew him will miss his humor and his knowledge. Michael is survived by his wife, Jessica. Information about the service this coming Saturday (1/14/17) can be found at this link: http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Michael-Martin&lc=5358&pid=183302575&uuid=46b0119f-f1c4-4df1-acfb-168b5c4ae9c4

The Vagina Monologues were born in the 1990’s when a woman named Eve Ensler came to realize that women were very rarely given the opportunity to freely talk about their experiences as women. She began by taking to the streets of New York, asking random women questions such as “If your vagina could talk, what would it say?” or “What would your vagina wear?” Through asking these seemingly bizarre yet simple questions, Ensler found that she was able to gain insight of the inner lives and experiences of the women she viewed and how they felt about their experiences as women. She took these women’s stories and turned them into a series of monologues. The show quickly became a hit sensation and people began to flock to the theatre doors only to be turned away from continuously sold out performances due to the show’s great success. Ensler now releases the rights to the show to colleges and communities around the globe with the only requirement that all proceeds go towards an organization with a mission to help women. This year, the proceeds of Chapman University’s 2015 production of The Vagina Monologues will be going to Human Options, a sanctuary for women and children who have experienced domestic abuse. The focus of Chapman University’s 2015 production is freedom, for we believe that feminism means having the freedom to make your own choices, to live your life the way you choose, and to be free of the institutionalized violence and abuse that takes place in our world today. To show our support for one another, casts of The Vagina Monologues will hold up their “V” as a salute to show that we stand by each other in our own searches for freedom from whatever holds us down. The show will take place on March 6th, 7th, and 8th, and we invite everyone to come and free their own V.
