"I didn't know when I moved here 30 years ago how much Pepperdine would become part of our lives, from watching shows at Smothers Theatre, to my children preforming there, using the many facilities, putting on programs for Malibu's K-12 school children, playing tennis and watching Pepperdine's tennis team, to making many friends, Pepperdine has been a great neighbor." 鈥擣iona Corrigan, Malibu resident
