Don't forget to donate caps, gowns, tassels, and stoles to The Office of Sustainability’s Regalia Reuse program!
Every year following Commencement, we collect regalia to loan out to future graduates. Help us to grow our collection and support even more Chapman graduates in coming years. There will be a donation box in the Piazza following Commencement, and it will remain there for several weeks. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions on the program.

Is your student getting ready to move out for the summer? Choose to ditch the dumpster and donate during move out this year – help keep quality items out of the landfill and create a culture of reuse at Chapman!
The Office of Sustainability’s Ditch the Dumpster & Donate program aims to divert as much waste as possible from the landfill during move out. From Wednesday, May 15th to Saturday, May 18th, we’ll be running Donation Stations on Main Campus, at Chapman Grand, and at Panther Village from 8AM to 8PM each day.

Donate clothing, shoes, furniture, electronics, small appliances, household items and décor, sporting goods, kitchen supplies, books, and food, and drop off e-waste to be properly recycled. Move Out Eco-Reps at each station can answer any question you have and help you sort your donated items. If you notice an item at a Donation Station that you’d like to take to furnish or stock your apartment or dorm for next year, let an Eco-Rep know and they’ll confirm if it’s up for grabs! Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

It's National Volunteer Week! 🌟 We're shining a spotlight on Chapman University's unsung heroes - our dedicated volunteers. From mentoring students to enriching events, their selfless contributions leave a lasting mark on the family.
