Celebrate Graduation in the Best Way Possible.. With the OC Beer Festival!!!

For all you true Best4Last followers out there, you might remember one of the very first posts we made: that the Beer Festival is coming to Orange County.. Well now its finally here!!

It’s time to remind ourselves as Americans that there is much more to beer than Anheuser-Busch, Coors, and Miller. It’s time to stick it to those conglomerate, substandard, yellow lagers and drink to the underground, the nonconformists, and the delicious. Because who doesn’t like a good craft beer? The OC Beer Festival will feature the city’s top breweries, as well as 60 domestic and international brands.

The Orange County Beer Festival will be this Saturday between 3-6pm, and $40 gets you unlimited beer! Sounds awesome!

“On Tuesday the Clothesline Project will be on display from 10 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.  This exhibit is a powerful visual depiction of sexual violence in our community.  The project will span much of the campus and is composed of T-shirts made by survivors of sexual assault and those who want to take a stand against violence.  All are invited to contribute a shirt to our Chapman University Clothesline project.”

This project travels around the country andis displayed in various schools and public areas to help draw attention to the problems facing our community. 

Make sure to take this opportunity to remember you can make a difference in our community and take a stand against violence.

Senior Thesis Film Screenings at Chapman University

Recently, I have had the pleasure of seeing the past 3 Senior Thesis cycle Screenings. As a business student, I must say that I’ve been completely taken aback by how beautiful, exciting, interesting, and bold that many of these movies have been. We all have heard how the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts has been growing, how the caliber of film students is incredibly high, and how the school is rivaling the top film schools in the country. But from my perspective at least, many Chapman students feel that the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts is its own island of film students that are separate from the rest of the campus. But again, that’s just from what I’ve seen.

I know many students never even see the beautiful work that is produced in the film school. Which is why I encourage Chapman students to visit these screenings. These directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, sound designers, production designers, etc. have lived and breathed their movies for the past year, and it’s definitely worth checking them out. Many of the films really are extremely entertaining, thought-provoking, and fun.
