Large donors boost Chapman University's math, philosophy and physics program Chapman University's commit- ment to interdisciplinary educa- WLRQ UHFHLYHG D VLJQL¿ FDQW ERRVW with two gifts totaling $5.5 mil- lion. These contributions will provide support to students with- in the doctor of science in math, philosophy and physics (MPP) program. 7KH ¿ UVW JLIW PLOOLRQ establishes the Anne and Chris Flowers Family Endowed Doc- toral Fellowship, enabling stu- dents to pursue groundbreaking research at the nexus of math- ematics, philosophy and physics. Anne and Chris Flowers, proud parents of two Chapman alum- nae, expressed their enthusiasm for the program’s forward-think- ing approach and its potential to shape future leaders in the sci- ences. The second gift, totaling $3 million, was bestowed by Chap- man Board of Trustees Chair Parker S. Kennedy. This con- tribution establishes endowed chairs in each of the MPP disci- plines—mathematics, philosophy and physics. The MPP program confers a Ph.D.-equivalent degree and em- phasizes the connection between mathematics, philosophy and the physical sciences. While some universities pair two of these subjects in a single degree, Chap- man’s program may be one of the few of its kind. 7KH GHJUHH R൵ HUV D QXPEHU RI XQLTXH EHQH¿ WV LQFOXGLQJ D smaller course load that enables students to focus on their disser- tations. The program also equips students with an interdisciplin- ary perspective that is invaluable when confronting important phil- osophical concepts. These generous donations not only propel the MPP program to new heights, but also bolster Chapman University’s strategic plan goal to raise $500 million through its Inspire campaign. With a total of $370 million raised so far, the university is well on its way to achieving this objective.
