Seaver College: Adopt-a-Dorm Program 24-25

We are so excited to work with our amazing parents and family members to support our freshman and transfer halls again this year! We look forward to another successful year welcoming our on-campus students!

Adopt-A-Dorm is a program to enhance freshman, first-year, and transfer students' learning, living, and community experiences both inside and outside the dorm. Adoptive parents and family members will be dedicated to helping the Housing and Residence Life (HRL) staff group comprised of Residential Advisors, Spiritual Life Advisors, and the Residential Director, better meet the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the students in their residence hall (dorm). Adoptive parents will bless students and the HRL staff group by Assisting, Donating, Outing, Praying, and Treating their adopted hall from September to April. Parents and family members close by or far away are welcome to adopt. For more information, please contact Cindy Campbell at cindy.campbell@pepperdine.edu. Adopt your student's hall. Links coming soon!

Make a donation directly to your student's hall by designating "other" on the drop-down and adding the "name of the hall" in the comment box.

For more information and to get involved, please call or email Cindy Campbell at (310)506-6826 at cindy.campbell@pepperdine.edu.
