Pat
Williams
Founder, Faculty Member and Friend
|
Patrick Williams,
was more then just the founder of the
Pepperdine MSOD
program, he was a Pioneer, and Explorer, and
an inspiration to probably all who knew him.
- In the words of Chris Worley, the
current director of the Pepperdine program and a student, friend,
and colleague
of Pat . . .
- "He was brilliant, irreverent,
insightful, aggravating, powerful, unbelievable, compassionate, counterdependent, full of love, and committed to changing the
world. I have lost a mentor and friend; the program has lost its
founder; and we all have lost a passionate advocate for
change. "
This website is dedicated to Pat with the
hopes that it can help continue to keep his dreams alive.
The dream for a better world helped by his "long grey line" of
graduates. We who knew Pat and those who learn from those
whose lives Pat touched are a large part of his legacy. We
hope to keep that legacy alive and flourishing.
Those who wish may:
forward your thoughts, comments, and
remembrances of
Pat
as well as your additions to keeping Pat's legacy alive
to info@msod.com
we will post and/or forward them as you wish.
Or you may
link to a remembrances page
and the opportunity to add to it.
We
hope to build this into a lasting tribute to a great man and a great teacher.

 The
Dominguez-Escalante Bi-Centennial Horseback Expedition was named after
Father Silvestre Velez de Escalante, a Spanish Franciscan missionary-explorer,
who in 1776-77 along with his superior Francisco Domínguez, set out on an
expedition seeking a northern route to Monterey in California from Santa Fe (now
in New Mexico). Father Escalante chronicled this first European exploration
across the Great Basin desert. It retraced the route of the original Dominguez-Escalante
Expedition.
