Testimonials
Pepperdine University played an integral part in my personal and professional development through its multitude of offerings for students. Through student organizations such as the First-Gen Club, Psychology Club, and Intramural Sports, I found a community of like-minded individuals who pushed me to aspire to greater heights than I could have imagined.
The Career Center at Pepperdine was particularly transformative for my professional ambitions. Their staff provided constant support and guidance in building my resume and searching for internships/full-time roles. More importantly, they focused on developing strong character in young individuals, which shone through in my various interviews during my senior year and continues to serve me well today. Through the Career Coaching Program, career fairs, and panel discussions, I gained invaluable insights and connections. These resources ultimately helped me secure my first full-time job midway through my senior year.
Now, I've transitioned to a sales role at Equinix, where I constantly utilize the tools and skills that the Career Center helped foster in me. The university's emphasis on holistic development prepared me not just for a career, but for life. Thank you, Pepperdine for the experiences and relationships I gained during my time there continue to shape my personal and professional life in profound ways.
