CBO Speaks

Chapman CBO Harold Hewitt Falls into Rewarding Higher Ed Career

Harold Hewitt serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Chapman University. After an academic career spanning philosophy, religious studies, and a clear path to professorship, Hewitt suffered a transformational ah-ha moment: "I discovered I didn't like teaching."
