 To EXIT As graduating seniors left Seaver College in December, April and August, they were somewhat nervous about separating from college friends and starting over. Looking back, they could easily remember their favorite class or their best friend. They tried to forget driving up and down Grand Ave. to find a parking place, leftovers in the cafeteria, their worst G.P.A. and an empty mailbox on a rainy Monday after a long weekend. But what was the real feeling students had as they filed into Firestone Fieldhouse early on that Saturday morning? I never thought I’d make it this far..., 1 don’t feel like a senior in college..., and “Now what... were common inner reactions to leaving Pepperdine. Graduation day was a time to reflect upon the events that changed students’ lives. As families arrived on the Malibu campus, they quickly saw that Pepperdine put out a product well worth the investment. The special occasion deserved much celebration. Some graduates chose to continue further with their education, striving for graduate, medical or law degrees. Others found employment in the Los Angeles area, claiming they would never be too far from the beach. Still others sought new territory altogether or returned to a hometown area to settle. No matter where the new Seaver alumni landed, they had a changed perspective on life, one much different than when they began their college careers. —Beth Kern In a warm embrace.
