From the Office of the Director

January 30, 1997

Dear MSOD Alumni and Friends:

The MSOD committee has been working hard to understand the fitness of the current MSOD curriculum. As part of that effort, we have been working on a mission statement that would capture our desired future state; a bold and affirmative description of what we want to become.

After several months of discussion amongst ourselves and with guest faculty, alumni, and current students, we believe it is time to open our work to a broader cross-section of the MSOD community.

We welcome your comments about these statements. Are they challenging but achievable? Are the intents and purposes clear? Do they capture the best of what MSOD could become? You can leave your comments here on the web or e-mail them directly to me at cworley@pepperdine.edu .

Sincerely,

Chris Worley
MSOD Director
