In 1991, Chapman opened the doors of this state-of-the-art residence hall. Pralle-Sodaro Hall honors Chapman University’s commitment to the whole student and has truly changed the character and spirit of the university. It is a gift of community made possible by the tremendous generosity of Bob and Helga Pralle and Don and DeeDee Sodaro. The late Bob Pralle served as a trustee for eighteen years beginning in 1984 and had a boundless passion for Chapman and its students. Don Sodaro currently serves as Chapman’s newest Chairman of the board of trustees and has been serving the board for fourteen years beginning in 1988. According to Don and DeeDee, “education is the one philanthropic cause that can do the most for the world”. Pralle-Sodaro Hall (3 floors, 75,382 sq.ft.) is a three-story building containing one-hundred-fifty-five units.
