Colorado “Mile High” Waves Receive Prestigious “2009 Chapter of the Year” Award
As a finale to Pepperdine’s annual Chapter Leadership Conference, the Colorado “Mile High” Waves chapter was selected by peers to receive the highest award bestowed upon chapters.
Over the past year, a diverse lineup of events in the region attracted hundreds of alumni, parents, and students, including a mile-high hike, Step Forward Day with World Vision, student send-off, and mother’s tea.
“We have so many members of our chapter that have given freely of themselves. It is an honor to receive this prestigious award on their behalf,” said Colorado chapter president Michelle Lydin (’04) during the annual Waves Fifth Quarter event following the Homecoming game.
The Colorado chapter will receive a cash prize to support future events aimed at engaging members of the Pepperdine community.
