You won’t have to look far to find the next generation of storytellers and media executives in Hollywood. They’re already in Malibu at Pepperdine University’s new Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture. Launched in 2009, the center is a $10 million priority for the Campaign for Pepperdine with one big aspiration: to be recognized as one of the top 25 cinema and media arts programs in the world.

To achieve this vision, the center seeks to become an independently funded institute that focuses on the power of story and business strategy in the entertainment industry. In the years since the center’s launch, founding director Craig Detweiler, associate professor of communication at Seaver College, has successfully built upon the strengths of Pepperdine’s existing graduate and undergraduate programs, including its master of fine arts degree in screen and television writing, as well as a new master of arts in media production.

FALL 2012

The Campaign for Pepperdine 2

From the CAmpAign For pepperdine

greetings This fall, I had the pleasure of co-hosting with the School of Public Policy a cadre of my fellow former ambassadors. The occasion was the fall conference of our Council of American Ambassadors and 50 of us had gathered, along with public policy professors, graduate students, and guests, to explore the theme, “The Korean Peninsula.” We convened in the newly dedicated Wilburn Auditorium, made possible by Dean Jim Wilburn’s legion of friends and colleagues as a funding priority of the Campaign for Pepperdine.

Central to our discussions were the political, economic, and social conditions of the two Koreas, the North Korea nuclear question, and China’s posture toward the Korean peninsula. But beyond the dialogue and debate were the fellowship, the hospitality, the intellectual engagement with public policy students and faculty, and the welcoming, wonderful Malibu campus atmosphere. Gloria and I always agree that few experiences fill us with hope and confidence like a Pepperdine event.

This issue of Waves of Change will provide you with a similar sense of hope and confidence as we scan the horizon and the challenges that remain in the final 18 months of our $450 million campaign. You’ll be encouraged by Malibu restaurateurs Daniel and Luciana Forge, who made a generous gift commitment that will endow the fall student musical production and a scholarship for students in musical and dramatic arts. You’ll be inspired to see how Pepperdine is preparing the next generation of storytellers for careers in media and entertainment. And you’ll be uplifted after reading how alumni and friends of the Heidelberg program created a scholarship legacy to a beloved professor, a few dollars at a time.

Having our past esteemed U.S. ambassadors on campus reminded me that all of us are ambassadors and advocates for Pepperdine and its 75-year mission to change lives. If you have not yet discovered a campaign project to call your own … read on. There are pages of hope and confidence ahead.

For a quarter century, Frau Mary Drehsel taught, mentored, guided, and loved the Pepperdine students who were spending their sophomore years or summer terms in Heidelberg. Prior to her passing in 2011 following a long battle with cancer, Frau Drehsel was a pillar of support at Moore Haus, dedicating countless hours to the students of the Heidelberg program.

Heidelberg alumni began a campaign to endow a scholarship in late 2009, seeking a way to recognize Professor Drehsel’s teaching and influence. With the help of 11 class leaders across two decades of the Heidelberg program, fellow alumni, faculty, and friends who were a part of the program were encouraged to support the scholarship. The endowment was officially funded in early 2010, just a few months after the campaign formally launched.

“I fondly remember my Heidelberg days and especially Frau Mary Drehsel,” said class leader Heidi Bernard (’85), executive director of Crest Associates. “She was a warm and encouraging teacher who inspired me to embrace the German language and come to know and love the culture.”

Pacesetting gifts were given by Deanne (’84) and John (’83) Lewis and Natalie (’01) and Jared (’01) Hankins, with new gifts and pledges still being made to support the scholarship. To date, nearly 130 donors have given more than $120,000 to the scholarship endowment. Last year, three students were awarded the Mary Drehsel Endowed Scholarship for the first time, including third-year student Kaitlyn Dotts, who spent her summer participating in the Heidelberg-Florence Switch Program.

“Even with a challenging language barrier, spending the summer abroad is the most rewarding experience I have ever had,” said Kaitlyn. “From soccer in Italy to the symphony in Heidelberg, the two months I spent in Europe truly changed my life. Being awarded the Mary Drehsel Endowed Scholarship made it all possible.”

pepperdine ConCLudes anniversary year wiTh hisToriC founder’s day

Until next time! Pepperdine University bid farewell to its yearlong 75th anniversary celebration at a historic Founder’s Day convocation on September 19, 2012. The annual event commemorates the dedication of George Pepperdine College on September 21, 1937, and signals the opening of the new academic year each fall. This year’s ceremony closed a full year of events, activities, and public displays that celebrated 75 years of progress with the University’s worldwide community.

In addition to the colorful procession of University regents, board members, faculty, alumni, and international student representatives, this year’s march included appearances from six distinguished Pepperdine Olympic athletes and coaches: Sarah Attar, Terrezene Brown (’67), Marv Dunphy (’74), Gary Sato (’78), Terry Schroeder (’81), and Marilyn White. Since 1956, 52 members of the Pepperdine family have competed or coached in the Olympic Games.

The ceremony also featured student and alumni readers who recited memorable messages from distinguished individuals who have contributed to the unfolding narrative of the University. Unique among them was Stephen Louderback, great-grandson of George Pepperdine and a fourth-year student at Seaver College, who read a quote by his great-grandfather from June 1937—just three months before the new college opened.

In Founder’s Day tradition, George Pepperdine’s original dedicatory address was delivered, this year by President Emeritus William S. Banowsky, fourth president of Pepperdine. Guests in attendance also were treated to a special 75th Anniversary Year in Review video presentation and a musical presentation of “Call of the Champions” by John Williams, led by conductors Tony W. Cason and Ryan A. Board.

As President Andrew K. Benton looked back on Pepperdine in his annual address, he concluded that Pepperdine’s 75-year history is not unlike a race. “In the flourish of … our work in higher education, we must never forget the importance of ‘faster, higher, and stronger,’” President Benton told the audience of nearly 3,000. “We run our unique race because we believe in

differences that matter, people who matter, and a heritage that matters.”

Following a festive tented lunch at Alumni Park, the University later welcomed home Dolores, the iconic cherub statuette installed on the original Los Angeles campus four years after the school’s founding. Often adorned with various hues of paint and costumes, Dolores was also a victim of several kidnappings, until the 1980s when she was unable to find her way back to campus.

Molded to her original 1941 form, the statue was unveiled with the help of students Christie Myers and Alex Fischler, presidents of the Student Government Association and Student Alumni Association, respectively, and George Pepperdine College alumni Allie Tegner (’47, MA ’68) and Jim McGoldrick (’66). Professor McGoldrick also helped move Dolores from the Los Angeles campus to Malibu in 1982 during the 10th

anniversary celebration of the Malibu campus.

The new statue, like Founder’s Day, is symbolic of traditions that inspire Pepperdine’s next generation of students. “In the life of every university, even ones as young as ours, traditions are a touchstone that unites students with alumni,” President Benton reflected. “By handing down sacred customs, rituals, and beliefs from class to class and generation to generation, academic institutions like Pepperdine are able to uniquely connect past, present, and future.” n


By Nate Ethell (’08)

It’s a story straight out of an old Hollywood movie —and the final act finishes with a happy ending for students at Pepperdine.

Daniel Forge first came to the United States exactly 60 years ago, arriving in New York at Christmastime in 1952 with nothing but a briefcase and a couple hundred dollars. At age 26, the French native had already lived a life well beyond his years, living under the oppression of the interim occupation authority established by the Third Reich during World War II.

When Daniel was only 14, he was recruited to help build the Atlantikwall coastal fortification along the coast of northern France. Instead, however, he escaped the German regime to serve in the French free forces until the end of the war. “By the time I was a teenager, I was already on my way,” said Daniel. “Although I craved an education, I didn’t get to go to college. But those years in the war were not easy to forget. Those were years when the world was on fire.”

By 1952 Daniel was working at a restaurant in Paris, where he was presented with the opportunity for a

fresh start in the United States. “I met a couple from Beverly Hills at the restaurant who decided that they would sponsor me. They were very close friends of Hernando Courtright, who owned the Beverly Hills Hotel.” Having learned English from an aunt who lived in San Francisco, Daniel had long desired to go to the United States and took a leap of faith across the Atlantic to work in Beverly Hills.

Soon after settling into a job at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Daniel followed his passion as an aspiring restaurateur to Perino’s, the famed eatery from Hollywood’s Golden Age that was a favorite for the city’s elite and demimonde alike. Daniel continued to learn how to manage a restaurant under the tutelage of Alexander Perino for nearly a decade.

After four years in the United States, Daniel’s work at Perino’s led him to an introduction with 33-year-old Luciana Sodani, a professional vocalist from Rome who was returning from a tour in South America. “Luciana’s brother-in-law was my partner at the restaurant,” said Daniel. “On a day off, he invited me to his house, about the time that Luciana came back from South America. The rest, you might say, is history.”

Forge continued page 15 �


Luciana started a professional vocal career when she was only 18 years old, studying music, dance, and voice in Europe. As a coloratura soprano, Luciana’s voice was distinguished as being among the highest operatic sopranos. At the end of her career, she sang her final concert in Los Angeles with renowned Italian tenor Tito Schipa.

Two years after their introduction, Luciana and Daniel were married in 1958. Following Daniel’s departure from Perino’s, the two began their careers as successful entrepreneurs and business owners in fine dining, opening several new restaurants in the Hollywood area. In 1962 the two opened their first restaurant, L’Auberge on Sunset Boulevard, introducing Los Angeles to classic French cuisine experienced most commonly in other cosmopolitan cities like New York and San Francisco.

By the early 1980s, Luciana and Daniel were ready to move away from the Hollywood hustle, curiously exploring what they could do with a five-acre piece

of property in Malibu. “It was an abandoned piece of property—nothing back then,” Daniel remembered. “But I loved building and thought I could do something with it, so we ended up building an entire restaurant from an old abandoned shack.”

Beau Rivage opened to critical acclaim in June 1982, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful restaurants along the Pacific coast. Translating literally to “beautiful seashore,” the new Malibu restaurant served up original dishes of French and Italian fare, Mediterranean ambiance, and—true to its name—striking ocean views. For many in the community, the hospitality and unexpected personal touches by Daniel and Luciana turned Beau Rivage into a second home.

It wasn’t long after the restaurant had opened its doors that leaders from Pepperdine befriended the Forges. “Shortly after the restaurant opened, members of the

“When Pepperdine moved to Malibu in 1972, we moved to the most inordinately influential community in the world,” said Craig. “With our neighbors and friends in such significant positions of influence across major networks and studios, we have a unique ability to tap into the multiplying power of media.”

More than 600 students currently major in some form of media at Pepperdine. Of those, nearly 100 undergraduate students are majoring in film and media production, and 20 graduate students are pursuing one of the center’s master’s degrees. “Our goal for the center is to empower the next wave of entertainment and media entrepreneurs through technology, creativity, and business acumen,” Craig noted. “In doing so, we will equip students to launch brand new companies and ideas—creating entertainment and sparking social change for what we like to call the (un)common good.”

Cue 2009 Seaver alumnae Lauren Parsekian and Molly (Stroud) Thompson, who founded the Kind Campaign their senior year. Turning an award-winning documentary into a thriving nonprofit organization, the Kind Campaign has become a social movement that advocates for kindness rather than bullying among teenage girls across America. The young women recently began their fourth national tour, sharing their message and changing lives in hundreds of schools and communities nationwide.

The center has begun building strategic partnerships within the entertainment industry, including those with four-time Emmy winner Joe Sargent and director, producer, and screen writer Tom Shadyac, who were named the center’s first “filmmakers in residence.” The center is also sharing its aspirations through high-level alumni like director and producer George Schlatter (’49), creator of Laugh-In, who was featured in the recent “Next Wave in Entertainment” event at Waves Weekend in October. This spring, Pepperdine friends Mark Burnett and Roma Downey will be previewing at Pepperdine their 10-hour series for the History Channel on the Bible.

Philanthropist Johnny Brenden and the Brenden Mann Foundation have become faithful allies with the center. The foundation once again sponsored the center’s State of the Industry conversation with Chris Aronson, president of Fox Distribution, and it recently pledged $100,000 for the Jewish Moguls, Jewish Characters, and American Reality Initiative. Set to launch in early 2013, the initiative explores how 20th century American culture was shaped by Hollywood’s film industry, whose studios were largely controlled by Jewish moguls. Using film screenings, panel discussions, and a photographic exhibition, the initiative will investigate the place of Jews in American life and their relationship with Christians and secular society.

Behind the scenes, the center is assembling a board of industry leaders whose insights, access, and expertise will help navigate the center through its key fundraising and programming benchmarks. The board currently includes distinguished Hollywood luminaries such as alumnus Rob Moore (’84), vice chair of Paramount Pictures, and David Weil, CEO for Anschutz Film Group of Walden Media (Chronicles of Narnia). Chairing the advisory board is alumnus Brad Cummings (’88), cofounder and CEO of Windblown Media, the independent publishing company created to launch the best-selling Christian fiction novel The Shack.

“When I came to Pepperdine, it was the first time in my life I felt like I was supposed to be some place,” Brad reflected. “Pepperdine encouraged me to dream big as a student, and now the University has the opportunity to come on to the world stage and achieve its own dream—shaping culture with the power tools of our day.”

As Brad and Craig began developing the new center, they were surprised to learn how many Pepperdine alumni work in entertainment, incorporating leadership ethics learned in the classroom into their positions as feature film directors, television producers, and studio executives. “Alumni are not only in front of the camera, but also behind, and very few—if any—really came out of formal training from Pepperdine,” noted Brad. “But it was at Pepperdine that their passion, like mine, was fueled.”

In 2010 Brad made an instrumental decision to provide pacesetting support to the center with a gift that has grown in value to nearly $1 million. “Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would have the capacity to write a check like that. I felt like the Lord said, ‘Do you want to be a filmmaker, or do you want to raise an army of them?’ We need professionals who are training and dreaming alongside our students, giving them a shot to do what is possible nowhere else.”

As the center’s board grows, campaign fundraising efforts are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for critical student and program support. Key priorities include funds for student scholarships, internships, and educational trips, as well as programing resources for faculty, infusions of new equipment and production facilities, and a variety of special events like the Reel Stories Film Festival.

“By giving to the center, Pepperdine can leave its most lasting impact, training students alongside professionals with a foundation of faith and creativity,” said Brad. “A gift that empowers storytellers will change a generation.” n

Here’s How It Works:

Prior to a stock or real estate sale, a portion is donated to

Pepperdine. For stock, this would be a specific number of

shares; for real estate, it would be an undivided interest in the

property. You will receive a charitable deduction from your

stock or real estate gift, allowing you to offset the capital gains

tax on the sale. Additionally, the amount given to Pepperdine

is not subject to capital gains tax, reducing the overall tax you

owe.

Zero-Tax Sale

Upon the sale of appreciated property, you will owe taxes

on the gains, significantly reducing sale proceeds. The

federal long-term capital gains rate is currently 15 percent—

scheduled to increase to 20 percent in 2013—with state taxes

creating additional tax burden. In California, the combined

rate is presently 24.97 percent.

With careful planning, however, you may be able to eliminate

all capital gains taxes from the sale of your stock or real estate.

In many circumstances, gifting approximately 30 percent of

the fair market value of the property to Pepperdine will allow

you to sell your stock or real estate and not pay any capital

gains tax. The portion donated will not be taxed, and the gift

itself will generate a tax deduction that offsets the portion

that is sold.

Since everyone’s circumstance is different, please contact

your tax and legal advisors to see how a partial gift of stock or

real estate to Pepperdine would benefit you.

Zero-Tax Planning

If you are thinking of selling appreciated stock, real estate,

with many financial and tax benefits that can reduce or even eliminate your capital

of our students.

Pepperdine community became frequent guests,” Daniel commented. “One day, after getting to know David Davenport, he said I should get involved with the Crest Advisory Board, so I joined and continue to serve on the board today.”

Pepperdine, Daniel says, is all about people. “Every experience we’ve had with the University has been wonderful. From serving on the Crest board to working with them in the community, each encounter has been so rewarding.”

After nearly seven decades working in the restaurant business, Luciana and Daniel donated a portion of Beau Rivage, the jewel of their combined career, to Pepperdine, establishing a $2.9 million charitable remainder annuity trust with the University. “Our decision to give was simple,” said Daniel. “With Pepperdine you can count on knowing your gift will be used the right way today for the education of tomorrow’s leaders. I can’t think of a better way to give back to this community than by supporting the university that is so much a part of it.”

Honoring Luciana’s distinguished career in fine arts, half of their gift will be used to endow Pepperdine’s annual fall musical performance, permanently named the Luciana and Daniel Forge Fall Musical. The other half will establish the Luciana and Daniel Forge Endowed Scholarship for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in musical or dramatic arts at Seaver College.

“With their gift, Mr. and Mrs. Forge are supporting the immediate and future development of our young artists at Pepperdine,” said Cathy Thomas-Grant, associate professor of theatre. “They have ensured that musical theatre will ring in our hearts for decades to come and—through their scholarships—that our students can afford to spend more time strengthening their skills, minds, and spirits.”

Luciana and Daniel have spent more than 25 years getting involved with Pepperdine and its vibrant student community, including those studying fine arts. “We’ve seen some of the most beautiful, amazing shows of a lifetime at Pepperdine,” Daniel said. “The students who have performed are so wonderful, and we want to help cultivate those talents as much as possible.”

“As patrons of the arts, Daniel and Luciana Forge will push our students to the highest levels of their craft,” Cathy enthused. “Their legacy will leave a lasting impact on students who are beginning their journeys as artists and the people who have the privilege of watching their talent on stage.” n
