Margaret Weber Named Professional of the Year in Higher Education
Margaret Weber, Ph.D., demonstrates a passion for education that has spanned nearly three decades
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 30, 2011 /University PR News/ -- Dr. Margaret J. Weber, Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University, has been named a Cambridge Who's Who Professional of the Year in higher education. While inclusion in the Cambridge Who's Who Registry is an honor, only a small selection of members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Cambridge Who's Who membership.
For 28 years, Dr. Weber has demonstrated her commitment to education and desire to guide students to the next phase of their lives and careers. She established her career as a junior high school teacher in a small rural Illinois community, and has since completed doctoral-level education and taught environmental design at Oklahoma State University. She now works in the administration field for research and graduate education. The dean of Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) for 10 years, Dr. Weber enjoys seeing the transformation of students as they cultivate their acumen and develop as leaders in their field. Dr. Weber, who believes strongly in faculty development and program innovation, was recently appointed as director for GSEP's newest master's program, social entrepreneurship and change.
As part of her scholarly work, Dr. Weber has published articles on such topics as multicultural leadership and diversity, scholarship, mentoring and socialization of graduate students, and the value of investing in faculty. In addition, she maintains scholarly interests relating to gender equity, women and leadership, and work-family life balance issues. Passionate about her work, she holds a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri as well as a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science from Eastern Illinois University.
Dr. Weber is also passionate about working with underserved populations. She serves as a board member for the Union Rescue Mission, a nonprofit homeless shelter with a GSEP mental health clinic. Within the past year she has twice visited India, where she built a strong understanding of cultural dynamics influencing educational issues and issues of gender equity.
