Chapman University is relieved that after law enforcement investigation, yesterday’s report to Chapman University Public Safety resulted in no harm or injuries to our students or staff. Chapman University takes such threats very seriously, especially in light of recent events in California and around the world. All departments involved in investigating and messaging this threat followed the protocol established in Chapman University’s ongoing emergency operations drills and exercises.

The safety of our students, faculty and staff is our top priority at all times. Parents have requested to receive Panther Alert notifications, so we wanted to provide additional information on how to make this happen.
