The spring 2020 issue of Pepperdine Magazine highlights stories of those who have made University history with their exceptional generosity, extraordinary talents, and unshakeable faith. Jim Gash (JD '93), the first alumnus to lead the University as president and chief executive officer, shares an extraordinary path to his new role as he becomes the faithful narrator of Pepperdine's next chapter; a group of Seaver College students take their video game talents to the next level by forming an official competitive esports team; Rick Caruso (JD '83) establishes a new legacy with the largest alumni gift in Pepperdine history; and the Pepperdine community finds purpose in serving those with the greatest needs amid the uncertainty, anxiety, and fear surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
