Pepperdine Parent and Family Program

Welcome to the Waves Family!

Our goal is to ensure that both you and your student leave Pepperdine with cherished memories, transformative experiences, and lifelong lessons. We are dedicated to fostering meaningful connections with you throughout your student’s journey and beyond. The Pepperdine Parent and Family Program is designed to build and strengthen these bonds, welcoming all parents, legal guardians, and grandparents of current and graduated students. When your family chose Pepperdine, you became an integral part of ours. You are valued members of our community—friends who matter and partners in our shared mission to prepare students for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

Through the Parent and Family Program, we offer diverse opportunities for families to engage locally, regionally, and virtually with students, the University, and each other. From thoughtfully designed events to meaningful interactions, we aim to enhance communication, encourage participation, and enrich your student’s university experience.

Our Mission 

Pepperdine Parent and Family Program partners with parents and family members of current and graduated Pepperdine students to support the academic success and personal growth of the student body while fostering meaningful engagement with the university. Through opportunities for service, support, sponsorship, and spiritual enrichment, we aim to:

• Serve as a resource for parent and family volunteers, hosts, and ambassadors.
• Encourage and promote parent and family support for the Pepperdine Fund and other giving opportunities.
• Inspire parents and families to sponsor students within their professional networks.
• Enhance the spiritual development of students by integrating faith and learning within a framework of Christian values.
