The University was founded by George Pepperdine, a successful businessman who found his fortune in the automobile industry (founding Western Auto) and became a philanthropist. He was inspired by his commitment to the values of Christian education and a desire to provide students with a quality education that integrated faith and learning.
The Malibu campus of Pepperdine University is situated on approximately 830 acres on the Pacific Ocean. Student enrollment runs about 8000; undergraduate and graduate.
“Whether we are scientists or engineers, homemakers or business leaders, we must all assume responsibility not only for the kind of jobs we do but also for the kind of people we are.
Education in a Christian environment helps develop and mold tomorrow’s leaders.”
— George Pepperdine (1886-1962)
Diwali at Stanford Dining
Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated in India, features a delightful array of traditional foods. Sweets like ‘gulab jamun,’ deep-fried dough soaked in sugar syrup, and ‘jalebi,’ spiral-shaped saffron-scented pastries, are ubiquitous. ‘Ladoo,’ sweet gram flour balls, and ‘barfi,’ a milk-based fudge, are also popular. Savory treats include ‘namkeen’ like ‘chakli’ and ‘mathri,’ crispy snacks, along with ‘samosas’ and ‘pakoras,’ fried dumplings filled with various fillings.
Families often exchange these delectable creations and offer them as offerings to deities, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and the spirit of togetherness during this joyous festival.
Sufganiyot in a Minute
Sufganiyot (plural), sufganiyah (singular); are a type of deep-fried doughnut that is traditionally eaten by Jewish people during Hanukkah, along with other fried foods, to commemorate the miracle of the oil in the Temple. They are typically round and filled with jelly or other sweet fillings, and they are often dusted with powdered sugar. Sufganiyot are deep-fried until they are golden brown and have a light, fluffy texture.
The practice of eating fried foods during Hanukkah is a symbolic way of celebrating the miracle of the oil, where a small amount of oil miraculously lasted for eight days in the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem.
