Jacob Cervantes, Director of Student Success

Hello! My name is Jacob Cervantes and I have worked at Pepperdine since June of 2022. Regardless of whether you are an A+ student or want to improve your academic standing, the SSC is for everyone. We are here to help you set and achieve your goals. Some of my favorite conversations with students have centered around how to apply the skills we acquire in college to real life situations.
