Golden Circle
As Pepperdine looks back upon 83 years of transforming lives for purpose, service, and leadership, it seems fitting that we also honor those alumni who have reached another special milestone. Specifically, we are 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 310.506.4348 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 the latest alumni to be inducted into the Golden Circle, the Class of 1970.
