变革的时代

秋天来了。 Temperatures have dropped, leaves are shifting color, and students once again fill the campuses of 佩珀代因大学. The start of each academic year is a time of excitement and change, rich with new classes, new friends, and new opportunities.

In this spirit, our fall issue of 佩珀代因杂志 takes a closer look at the many faces of change underway at Pepperdine. You’ll read about a resurgence in the 西维尔大学 philosophy program, expansion of the women’s MBA chapter at the Graziadio School, and induction of new members to the Pepperdine 体育运动 Hall of Fame. For those far from the Malibu campus, we reveal beautiful and high-tech renovations that were recently completed.

We also turn a spotlight on the building up of minds in the Pepperdine community: engaged students who study legal traditions in the Holy Land, retrace Darwin’s steps in the Galapagos Islands, or bring to life the music of Mozart’s collaborators in Austria. 我们也看到了心灵的建立。 Stories of Pepperdine people in service offer a glimpse of the vast array of good work happening worldwide, an increasing reality recognized and supported by the University’s new initiative, 服务浪潮.

With this third issue, we further lay the foundation of 佩珀代因杂志 itself. Our audience is growing, and readers like you continue to share perspectives on the articles we print. This winter we’re excited to publish the University’s 2009 Annual Report online. Stay tuned for information about how to experience this interactive report, and keep your eyes on magazine.pepperdine.edu for new stories (our next edition will hit your mailbox in Spring 2010).

我希望你们在佩珀代因大学和你们的日常生活中享受这个变化的季节。 Thank you for reading.
