Seaver and George Pepperdine College Alumni

Golden Circle

As we approach Pepperdine's 75th-anniversary milestone, now seems a fitting time to look back and honor those alumni who have reached a special milestone of their own this year. Specifically, I am referring to those who are celebrating 50 years of being a Pepperdine alumnus. These alumni—many of whom are our most spirited—have earned their place in what is known as the "Golden Circle."

The Golden Circle represents all living, active*, degreed** George Pepperdine College alumni who graduated at least 50 years ago. If you feel that someone has been mistakenly omitted from this list, please notify the GPC Alumni Affairs office at gpc@pepperdine.edu or (800) 767-2586 ext. 5 so that we can check eligibility and update our records.

* By "active," we mean that the alumni have correct mailing addresses in the official alumni database and have not requested that Pepperdine refrain from contacting them.
** Alumni who did not complete their degree at GPC are not eligible.

 

Please join me in recognizing this year's Golden Circle inductees from the Class of 1961.
