We’re proud to spotlight alumnus Jaibir Nihal Singh (’20), a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree whose entrepreneurial journey is shaping the future of work through creativity, innovation, and AI.

“My screen arts degree is incredibly versatile. I use the lessons I learned at Pepperdine all the time to fulfill my job, to carry out my newfound vocation.”

Jaibir also credits Pepperdine with instilling a commitment to service-driven leadership. As TraqCheck continues to grow, he hopes to create opportunities for future Waves and use his success to make a meaningful difference.

For Bob (‘73) and Jane Bland, Pepperdine became the place where their lives came together and their greater purpose began to take shape.

Bob arrived from Colorado on a music scholarship, while Jane came to California from Tennessee to pursue her master’s degree in education. At Pepperdine, they found each other, built lifelong friendships, discovered new opportunities, and developed a deeper understanding of the gifts they could use to serve others.

More than 50 years later, the Blands returned to campus and were reminded of the lasting impact Pepperdine had on their lives. Inspired by the excellence they saw in today’s Pepperdine Orchestra, they are paying that experience forward with a $1 million gift to establish an endowed professorship in orchestral conducting.

Their generosity will support Seaver College’s Fine Arts Division, the orchestra, and the faculty who help students discover their own gifts and purpose.
