Testimonials
“Pepperdine takes a hands-on approach to fostering female business leaders to uphold purpose-driven lives. For an industry with the perception of being male-dominant, the vast number of strong, successful, and passionate female leaders at Pepperdine Graziadio is extraordinary. From the faculty and professors to the entire student body, the women leaders of this community continue to inspire and teach me that when one of us shines, we all shine.
