Send-Off Parties (June-August)
Parents and alumni welcome new Pepperdine students and their families to the University at these informal gatherings. These receptions are hosted in cities nationwide by the Parents Council.

New Student Orientation (August 19-24, 2008)
The Parents Council hosts a reception and information table to introduce new Pepperdine parents to council activities. We also have an information and water booth for new students and their families as they make their way into the dorms for the first time. Parents Council members hand out information about locations of local stores and vendors.

Family Weekend (October 17-19, 2008)
A special weekend hosted in the fall for families to return to campus and enjoy fun activities and entertainment, as well as to become better acquainted with other Pepperdine families.  You can register online here.   For more information call the Student Activities Office at (310) 506-4201.

Wave Classic Golf Tournament (November 12, 2008)
It is with great excitement that we begin plans for our ninth annual Pepperdine Wave Classic Golf Tournament on November 12, 2008. This exhilarating event has blessed Seaver College students and faculty with more than $800,000 in scholarship and program resources. The men’s and women’s golf teams have also been a generous beneficiary of this tournament’s proceeds. If you are interested in supporting the Wave Classic on Monday, November 10, 2008, please contact Kim Barkis at (310) 506-6110.
