Graziadio Commencement

The Wave Continues: Your Next Chapter Starts Now

We’re ready to celebrate our time-honored tradition and the notable accomplishments of our graduating students. We are proud of our Purpose-Driven Leaders and cannot wait to see their impact beyond the classroom—leading by example and setting a precedent for future generations.

The Pepperdine Graziadio Business School is moving to one commencement ceremony each calendar year, in April, coinciding with the end of the spring trimester. For the upcoming ceremony in spring 2025, students graduating in fall 2024,  and on track to complete their programs in spring 2025, and summer 2025 will receive initial details in February 2025.

Celebrate as a #GraziadioGrad

A picture is worth a thousand words and forever cements some of life’s best memories. Make your #GraziadioGrad celebration one to remember by capturing the moment at some of our iconic Pepperdine spots. 

Need some #inspo? Here’s where you can showcase your Wave spirit:

• Alumni Park: wide-open space and home of the renowned Pepperdine University concrete sign. This is where commencement will be held, so be sure to make a quick stop on your way to the stage.   
• Heroes Garden: Let’s talk about some #views. Get that 360-degree ocean vista from the top of Drescher, where you can smile against the backdrop of a lifetime. 
• Front of the Drescher Building: All stairs lead to Drescher (literally...we’re at the very top)—and the ones in front of our graduate campus come with palm trees, the George Graziadio fountain, and a beautiful courtyard where you can reminisce on the memories. 
• Outside the Chapel: Mosaics and blue skies—what more could you ask for? Grab a shot in front of the colorful Pepperdine Chapel windows, a campus-wide staple.

Where ever you choose, be sure to include #GraziadioGrad and share how you captured the perfect Pepperdine pic on your commencement day.
