Hello Panther Family! My name is Victor Arteaga, and I am honored to serve as your Chapman University Fire Marshal. With a strong background in emergency medicine and serving almost 30 years in the fire service; I bring a high level of expertise to best support our Panther community. As Chapman University continues to grow and excel, I am committed to providing the highest fire safety prevention standards to ensure the safety of our students and faculty. In addition to my Fire Marshal responsibilities, I also work closely with our renowned Health Sciences program overseeing the Chapman First Aid Team and providing both CPR and BLS training. I also collaborate with students from Dodge Film School to create a safe environment on set. Being a part of the Chapman community has been an incredible journey, and I feel privileged not only to work here but to have had the joy of watching my children, Matthew, Nathan, and Ava, attend and experience all Chapman has to offer.
