Since our visionary founder, George Pepperdine, first imparted his vision for his namesake institution 84 years ago, the Pepperdine University community has honored his impact and legacy with a powerful celebration that serves as a reminder of the great values of community, belonging, and shared purpose. After more than one year of separation from our community, Founder's Day will return with a vibrant in-person celebration opening the new academic year and recognizing the advancement of the Pepperdine story. The event will be livestreamed for those unable to attend the in-person proceedings.
