Engagement

Shawn Chapman (BCD '01-DHyg) is engaged to marry U.S. Marine Corps Captain Marc Alexander, son of Dr. Roger Alexander, professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery/pharmacology. The wedding is set for Dec. 20.

When she was a BCD student, Chapman began exchanging e-mails with Alexander while he was deployed to the Persian Gulf, flying enforcement missions over the Southern No-Fly Zone. Their relationship evolved from those e-mails.

Alexander is a 1994 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. He serves as a naval aviation flight officer (counter-electronics) from his home base at the Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, N.C. Currently, his squadron is again deployed in the Persian Gulf region.

Reminder

Health Care Provider Renewal Courses (CPR classes) will be held at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on July 18, 20 and 26. To attend or for more information, call Gracie Perez, administrative assistant in clinical services, at Ext 8388 or stop by Room 108.
