Women of Chapman’s Tribute to Retired Founding Dodge College Dean Bob Bassett
KUDOS Newport Beach Staff
Always a heartfelt affair, the Women of Chapman’s June Luncheon presented Chapman University with its annual contribution ($264,100), honored its new members as well as former and incoming board members, and presented its WOC endowment monies to deserving Dodge College students. The pièce de résistance was honoring Dodge College’s founding Dean Bob Bassett for his 38 years of establishing an internationally-recognized film school. Photography Tony Lattimore
