In support of Pepperdine’s 2030 Strategic Plan to “enhance diversity and deepen a sense of belonging,” Intercultural Affairs (ICA) has identified International Student Programming and Support as one of its five foundational pillars. Serving students across all six Pepperdine schools, ICA offers a variety of programs, excursions, and community-building opportunities that provide international students with spaces to connect, grow, and thrive. These experiences are intentionally designed to foster belonging, promote inclusion, and support student engagement, learning, and retention. With dedicated staff who understand the unique experiences and needs of international students, ICA acts as a cultural bridge, helping students feel at home while navigating life and academics in a new environment.
