Pepperdine Libraries to Host Book Release Celebration for Seaver College Dean Emeritus W. David Baird
Pepperdine Libraries will host a book signing and reception to celebrate Seaver College dean emeritus W. David Baird’s recent book, The Quest for Distinction: Pepperdine University in the 20th Century, in the Fireside Room at the Malibu campus on Thursday, November 3, at 3 PM.
Chronicling Pepperdine University’s fascinating history from its founding as a small, faith-based college in 1937 to its emergence as a top-tier university at the turn of the century, Quest for Distinction brings to life the remarkable men and women who guided the school’s growth as it endeavored to achieve its founder’s dual goals of academic excellence and commitment to a Christian mission.
