ORANGE : Chapman Increases Its Faculty Roster

Chapman University has added nine full-time assistant professors to its faculty for the academic year that begins in September.

The new employees bring Chapman’s faculty roster to 108, an increase of five from the 1991-92 academic year, said university spokeswoman Ruth Wardwell.

Wardwell said the faculty members were hired even though administrators expect enrollment at the school to remain steady at about 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students.

“Chapman has made a commitment to growing as a university,” Wardwell said. “Where other campuses have been cutting back, Chapman has been able to have visible growth.”

The new faculty members are:

* Martha Alvarez, assistant professor of education.

* Gregory Brown, assistant professor of social science.

* Nancy Daly, assistant professor of political science.

* Jeremy C. Goh, assistant professor of finance.

* Jan Gumbiner, assistant professor of psychology.

* James W. Herkimer, assistant professor of movement/exercise science.

* Charles L. Sterling, assistant professor of human resources management.

* Thomas Turk, assistant professor of marketing and management.

* Aleksander Zigic, assistant professor of broadcast journalism.
