Fred Chapman was an associate professor of communications at Grand Valley State University and retired from GVSU in 2000. Before his ten years of teaching at GVSU, Chapman was involved in numerous different activities. He spent 36 years in corporate advertising and public relations. He was heavily involved in community service, in which he served in numerous positions for various organizations. After his passing in 2013, his family members, colleagues, and alumni generously contributed to this scholarship fund in his honor. Without their help, this scholarship would not be possible for our students. (source: Tim Penning)
