I love this picture from, and of, John Adams. Due to John’s last name, he was the first graduate to receive his Juris Doctor degree last Friday. However, John was a leader in the Class of 2014 in ways far beyond leading the alphabetical order.
Why I love the picture is that it captures the smiles of Dean Tacha (presenting the diploma), Professor Ogden (who served as Marshal), and myself (who served as Lector). The Pepperdine University School of Law is a top-notch law school, but it is simultaneously a place where the faculty, staff, and administration love students. This picture is definitely worth at least a thousand words.
We are so proud of all our new graduates!
Yours,
Al Sturgeon
