THE CAMPAIGN FOR PEPPERDINE…CHANGING LIVES

The Campaign Goes

LIVE!

$450 MILLION GOAL ANNOUNCED

INSIDE:

On May 14, 2011, at the 35th annual Pepperdine Associates dinner, 900 faithful fans—alumni, friends, business and community leaders, faculty, and staff—gathered at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live to launch the Campaign for Pepperdine, the third and largest campaign in the University’s 75-year history. President Andrew Benton and campaign chairs Marylyn Warren (’58) and Ambassador Glen Holden shared the scope and promise of the campaign as featured alumni exclaimed, “I am a Wave, and my life has been changed.” Masters of Ceremonies Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) and Mark Burnett (Survivor) and the revival swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy entertained guests during an evening that celebrated Pepperdine’s quest and campaign theme, Changing Lives.

Greetings

FROM THE CAMPAIGN FOR PEPPERDINE Gloria and I have attended nearly every Pepperdine Associates dinner and enjoyed each one—but this year’s 35th annual banquet on May 14 was spectacular. Launching the most ambitious campaign in Pepperdine’s nearly 75-year history, fellow chair Marylyn M. Warren (’58) and I joined more than 900 University supporters at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles for an evening of entertainment and inspiration.

All program participants shared how Pepperdine has changed their lives—all for the better. Marylyn and I highlighted the comprehensive goals of the campaign and how they will benefit Pepperdine’s strong and unique mission. In his evening remarks, President Benton so aptly stated, “Through the Campaign for Pepperdine, we will raise $450 million, but just as important, we will embolden, ennoble, and enable those who change for good the lives of those who matter most—our students.” I am proud to join Marylyn and 120 enthusiastic volunteers in leading this campaign, and I invite you to step forward with us as we champion the student-centered goals that will take Pepperdine to new heights.

This is our inaugural campaign newsletter, and it will be our pleasure to share our progress and news with you in future quarterly editions. To learn more about the goals of the Campaign for Pepperdine, please call (310) 506-4546 or visit us online at www.pepperdine.edu/campaign.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN The Campaign for Pepperdine, led by co-chairs Marylyn Warren, ’58, and Glen Holden and seven volunteer-led campaign committees, will transform the lives of our students through four aspirations that: advance learning, knowledge, and scholarship; honor God and our heritage of faith; build community; and respect diversity and promote global understanding.

With “Changing Lives” as the campaign theme, Pepperdine has set a goal of $450 million to support student-centered priorities to do just that—educate

Nootbaars

Herbert and the late Elinor Nootbaar, whose friendship with Pepperdine began six decades ago and was rekindled in 2006, have provided transforming gifts for the Pepperdine School of Law and its Nootbaar Institute on Law, Religion, and Ethics. Herb, 102, and Elinor, who passed away earlier this spring, became enthusiastic advocates of the law school, endowing the dean’s office, providing significant support for the William French Smith Memorial Lecture Series, and funding and naming the now world-reaching Nootbaar Institute.

Fulfilling the Nootbaar Institute’s mission, students and professors travel to third world countries to administer global justice programs, and students work domestically and internationally in externships with human rights organizations. The institute also presents national conferences and symposia exploring such topics as international criminal justice, genocide, and religion.

“HERB SYMBOLIZES ALL THAT IS GOOD ABOUT AMERICA: HONESTY, HARD WORK, DETERMINATION, SKILL, INTEGRITY, AND DEEPLY HELD CONVICTIONS,” REMARKED PEPPERDINE PRESIDENT ANDY BENTON. “LED TO US BY HIS SWEET, LATE WIFE ELINOR, HERB CHANGES LIVES THROUGH PEPPERDINE AND HE HAS CHANGED MINE ALONG THE WAY, FOR HERB BELIEVES IN WHAT WE DO.”

Mullins Take Town Square

from Dream to Re Pepperdine has taken its first bold steps to create a Town Square at the center of its Malibu campus.

With pacesetting support from friends Terry and Sharon Mullin, the 2009 Phase One project transformed the fountain-centered Joslyn Plaza into a welcoming courtyard while adding much-needed classrooms to integrate academic and social venues at the heart of the undergraduate college.

Phase One provided an expanded and fully renovated Elkins Auditorium, the addition of palm trees, greenery, and landscaped staircases, an inspirational garden with water elements, and

clustered seating areas. A cherished addition to the Mullin Town Square is a bronze likeness of George Pepperdine, seated on a fountain bench, waiting expectantly for students, faculty, alumni, and visitors to stop and sit awhile.

Phase Two of the project envisions the true “college green.” Campaign funding will create a gateway entrance to the main campus, provide much-needed subterranean parking, and make possible an expansive park with benches, shade trees, and gathering alcoves— inviting students, faculty, and visitors alike to enjoy the Pepperdine green.
