Chapman is a member of the Pre-Vet Club and helps
with campus events. “I try to help out with as many activities as possible,” he
said. “My hobby is being involved . . . it’s what I like to do.” Chapman was

Chapman will graduate from ABAC in spring of 2007
with an associate’s degree in animal science. ABAC fall term classes begin Aug.
21.
