As the Parents Program reflects back on this past semester, we are overjoyed with the number of parent volunteers who gave of their time to help represent Pepperdine at several events. Below you will see a summary of the many activities that took place this year. We encourage you to take part in something happening in your own hometown this year--whether it is an afternoon tea with fellow moms, an admissions event, or an alumni event--you are all part of the Pepperdine family, and for that we are so grateful.
Dozens of Seaver Parents Council members came ready and willing to help support Pepperdine's Office of Admission as they hosted annual information sessions in 18 cities across America. The Office of Admission depends on current parents and alumni to spread the word about their own experiences at Pepperdine and give prospective students and parents a bit of insight into the University. Our Seaver parent volunteers from the Outreach Committee did a wonderful job welcoming and introducing the prospective students and their families in their area into the Pepperdine family. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to each parent that played such an important role in these sessions.

Several outreach events took place this past year including two afternoon teas held for moms and families of Pepperdine students and alumna of Seaver College. These events, one in Denver and one in Houston, were the perfect way for families to share about the Pepperdine experience, and get to know others from their area. Special thanks to Amy Clark, Tamra Farah, Betsy Joyce and Sherri Samuels for hosting the Denver afternoon tea! Special thanks to Kim Lindley for hosting our Houston group! We are also grateful to the Conger family for hosting a dinner in Rancho Santa Fe. If you would like to organize a special event in your hometown, please contact the Seaver Parents Program at (310) 506-4617 or parentsprogram@pepperdine.edu.
In addition, Seaver College parents are always welcome at any alumni events taking place throughout the nation. Visit the alumni news and events page to see the latest.

The Seaver Parents Program is looking for current parents, alumni, and friends to host summer send-off parties in 2011! Many of you probably remember the feeling of sending your son or daughter off to Pepperdine for their freshman year of college--it can be nerve-wracking, stressful and emotional for many families. Through the summer send-off parties, we strive to alleviate some of these feelings by gathering students together prior to their departure from Pepperdine. We have found that it helps to know a few familiar faces from a student's own hometown before coming to college in August.
