Pepperdine Parents in Prayer

Fellow parents, alumni, faculty, and staff gather monthly in prayer for the specific needs of the Pepperdine community. Join us on the third Wednesday of each month (September through May) with an inspiring devotional from a special, campus-partner, guest speaker followed by pre-selected prayer points thoughtfully chosen to follow each month's theme. These special events are hosted by First Lady, Joline Gash and the Parent and Family Program at Pepperdine.

Pepperdine Parent and Family Webinar

The Pepperdine Parents Program, in partnership with Kelly Haer, PhD, LMFT, Executive Director of the Boone Center for the Family, invites you to join us for an informative presentation and discussion on healthy relationships. Join with other parents, alumni, friends, faculty, and staff for an hour-long discussion where we'll learn how to support all the people we love in learning how to have healthier relationships at work, at church, at home, with children, and in your friendships.)

Pepperdine Parent and Family Walking and Hiking Club

The walking and hiking club is coming! Join with fellow parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends on quarterly hikes each year. We will explore the Malibu Creek State Park led by our very own Dr. John Barton, Professor of Religion and Philosophy..

Pepperdine Parent and Family Book Club

Pepperdine Parent & Family Book Club will be hosted by Dr. Lisa Smith, Pepperdine Assistant Professor of English. We will discuss Dr. Smith's book, Godly Character(s): Insights for Spiritual Passion from the Lives of 8 Women in the Bible. In this book that examines eight lesser-known women of the Bible—a dissatisfied princess, a suffering mother, a wartime advisor, an emerging prophetess, a marginalized widow, among others—Lisa helps uncover how we can increase our desire and affection for God. Discussion questions, application ideas, and steps for deeper growth are included.

New Student and Family Send-off Parties

Over 30 parties were hosted this summer May through August in hometowns across the nation, this summer. These parties were designed especially for students, parents, and family members of newly admitted Seaver College students. The parties provided an opportunity for incoming families to hear up-to-date announcements, learn about helpful resources, ask questions, and get to know other Pepperdine families and alumni from various locations before the college journey begins. Let us know if you would like to host a gathering in your home this summer.
