50-Year Alumni Reunion In August 2015, nine alumni from the 1964-1965 Heidelberg international programs group gathered in Malibu to celebrate 50 years since their German adventures together. Attendees included: Pat (Alley) Dowdey (’65) with husband David (current Pepperdine German professor who also taught in Heidelberg); Marilyn Dubas (’66); Bruce Grimes (’67); Dr. Robert “Bob” Sanders (’66) with wife, Anne; Barbara (Alexander) Ingram (’64) with husband, Jim; Carolyn (Green) Tucker (’67); Jerry Tucker (’67); Doug Rogers (’1965) with wife, Kathy Ping-Rogers (’72); and Frank Wiswell (’66). This special weekend included: the viewing of early Heidelberg memorabilia (such as bound copies of the 1964-1965 Graphic publications); visits with current Pepperdine students who had studied in various Pepperdine international programs; a visit to the Getty Villa; and several dining experiences recapping everyone’s adventures for the past 50 years, singing hymns, and scheming to set up a secret group on Facebook just for the 1964-1965 Heidelberg alumni. They are already discussing the next reunion!
Moore Haus Renovation Campaign Pepperdine’s century-old Moore Haus in Heidelberg, Germany, recently underwent a major renovation thanks to the generous support of alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and current students. We exceeded our goal of $1 million by several thousand dollars that will update the old Haus with technology enhancements, new furniture, and better learning spaces while still maintaining the historical glory of this beautiful estate. All members of the Pepperdine community are invited back to celebrate the first international study abroad program at Pepperdine on June 3 to rededicate Moore Haus.
Remembering J. C. Moore J. C. Moore, Jr., left an amazing impact on Pepperdine as controller, vice president, and a founder of the Heidelberg program. J. C.’s son Chip Moore (’67) and daughter Gwen Moore (’74) are gathering memories and would love to include any of yours from GPC student days.
