"One of the most meaningful experiences I have had at Pepperdine was being part of the Social Action and Justice Colloquium and getting to know Dr. Jeff Banks. In that class I was forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to consider social justice issues such as racism, poverty, disability, and LGBTQ rights, and consider what role I should play in being an advocate for change. I am forever thankful for those conversations because they continue to shape and motivate me to this day."

Heather finds meaning and motivation in the conversations had as part of the Social Action and Justice Colloquium with Dr. Jeff Banks.
