This is likely due to the lack of knowledge of such resources. Further, the connection to alumni that we do have is quite silo'd between the schools. Our goal will be to integrate and make more visible the amazing alumni network that Pepperdine has to offer so that students can benefit from those currently in the field.</span></span></span>
