Join us for the 4th Annual Chess Tournament honoring the memory of Leonardo Eifert '13. Open to public, anyone is welcome to register to play! $10 registration donation goes to support the Leonardo Eifert Scholarship for Imaginative Applications of Mathematics.

Chapman alumnus Leonardo Eifert ’13 passed away due to post-surgery complications. Leonardo was a beloved mathematics major and physics minor who was well known about campus for his friendliness, compassion for others, and patience. We like to imagine that he is teaching and learning somewhere else now, with access to answers and deep insights that we can only dream about.

With the generosity of the Chapman community, faculty, staff, and The Eifert family and friends, Schmid College of Science and Technology is currently raising funds to create the Leonardo Eifert Scholarship for Imaginative Applications of Mathematics endowed scholarship.

We want to ensure that other imaginative students will be supported by a scholarship in Leonardo’s name.  If you are interested in contributing or if you would like more information about the Chess Tournament, please contact Sarah Buckley at sbuckley@chapman.edu or 714-289-2032.
