My name is Frankie Warren and I'm the current Chairman of an on-campus group called the Emerging Leaders. EL is a program designed by the administration and faculty of Pepperdine's Graziadio School of Business and Management for students who strongly exemplify characteristics of future business leaders.
Candidates for EL are first year students who are recommended by members of the faculty, approved by the previous EL class and finally nominated by the Dean. This process takes place early in the 2nd trimester of one's first year in the full time program.
The goal of EL is to improve the student experience at the Graziadio school. This objective is addressed in several ways, the primary being Mentorship. Members of EL, along with our friends in MGBS, the student body government, act as mentors to the incoming class.
This blog will serve as a tool for members of EL to address first year students directly and transparently about life at Pepperdine. However, we hope it is enlightening also to prospective students, faculty, administration, parents, and anyone else with a vested interest in the future of Pepperdine's program. We will be bringing you perspectives from many different ELs over the course of the next year and we look forward to any feedback regarding the content.
If you would like to see a specific issue addressed please feel free to reach out to us at ELMentors@gmail.com. If you would like further information on any of the ELs, including your mentor for the coming year, please see our backgrounds at http://www.PepperdineEL.com.
We look forward to working with you in the coming year and once again congratulations and welcome to Pepperdine.
