ABOUT GRAZIADIO

Our history The Graziadio School is named after visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist George L. Graziadio Jr., who endowed the school in 1996.

George often said, “The money you earn feeds your family . . . the money you give away feeds your soul.” This emphasis on greater good remains a core tenet of who we are today.

Our mission The mission of the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School is to + promote transformational learning, + create applied knowledge, and + equip our students to become Best for the World Leaders and entrepreneurs.

Through programs such as Education-to-Business (E2B), Going Global with Graziadio (G3), and Social, Environmentally, and Ethically Responsible (SEER) Business Strategy, we create opportunities for students to go beyond the classroom and experience the world of business in a way that George Graziadio intended—as Best for the World Leaders focused on making meaningful impact around the globe.
