Welcome! Dean's Message Message from Dean Linda A. Livingstone At Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management, we are committed to developing values-centered business leaders for contemporary business practice. Our focus on leadership grounded in such core values as integrity, stewardship, compassion, and responsibility has been an integral part of our growth over the last thirty-five years and guides us today as the fifth largest accredited graduate business school in the nation. When you enroll in the Graziadio School, you will be joining an institution with a strong entrepreneurial culture. A successful entrepreneur, George Pepperdine, founded the University at the depths of the Great Depression. His vision was to build an institution that would strengthen young adults for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. More than a half century later, George L. Graziadio, Jr., another successful entrepreneur and co-founder and chairman of Imperial Bank, continued this entrepreneurial legacy through his generous endowment of the business school which now bears his name. We honor their entrepreneurial spirit by delivering a learning experience that is relevant and practical in an ever-changing business environment. Our approach is hands-on, experiential, and results-oriented. Courses are taught from a global perspective by faculty who are skilled both in the classroom and in the business world. And as a result, our students are better prepared to anticipate and lead change at all levels. Your Pepperdine education is an investment that will provide a lifetime of value for you and the organization that you lead. Earning your master’s or bachelor’s degree at the Graziadio School will challenge you, inspire you, and ultimately enable you to achieve your potential for both personal and professional growth. Upon graduation, you will join a worldwide alumni network of more than 27,400 professionals who are influencing business practice today and who share your commitment to excellence. Linda A. Livingstone, Ph.D. Dean 55555555555555555 8888888888888888888888888888 777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 ************************************************** | |

Pepperdine University ---Public Relations and NewsThe following information was received from the search of 'Pepperdine Univeristy - Graziadio School of Business and Management' on the Google.com: Press Releases The Graphic is Honored by the Associated Collegiate Press Nov. 3, 2005 - Pepperdine's student newspaper, Graphic, was named a Pacemaker winner Saturday, Oct. 29, at the 2005 Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. The honor for general excellence is recognized as the most prestigious honor for college newspapers and has been likened to the Pulitzer Prize for college newspapers. The Graphic, which is a member of the Pacemaker Hall of Fame, also won the award in 1998 and 2001 and placed as a finalist in 1999, 2002 and 2003. “The Pacemaker validates and reinforces the long hours and hard work our staff put into the Graphic,” Editor in Chief Crystal Luong said. ACP began holding the Newspaper Pacemaker contest in 1927, and in 1971 the Newspaper Association of America Foundation became a co-sponsor. The judging panel is typically made up the staff of a professional newspaper in the convention host city. They base the selection of Pacemaker honorees on coverage and content, quality of writing and reporting, leadership on the opinion page, evidence of in-depth reporting, design, photography, art and graphics. The Graphic was one of 24 winners in three categories (four-year dailies, four-year non-dailies and two-year papers). This year Chico State’s The Orion and Southwestern College’s Southewestern Sun were among the other winners named at the convention. 55555555555555 777777777777777777777777777 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 ************************************************** | |
