Testimonials
Navigating post-grad is both overwhelming and exciting. With the lessons I’ve learned from Pepperdine and the consistent support from faculty and staff, I have been able to bloom into adulthood. By involving myself in several communities during my Pepperdine career, I’ve made long-lasting relationships that I can count on in the present-day and in the future. For example, I am blessed enough to work with Pepperdine alumni at Warner Music Group, keep in touch with my close friends & mentors from the psychology department, seek guidance from advisors at the Career Center, and share my favorite songs with fellow radio hosts at KWVS Radio. By leaning into Pepperdine’s close-knit culture, I was able to flourish within all of these communities and apply this sense of familiarity to post-grad life. After graduating from Pepperdine, I’m confident when applying the knowledge I’ve learned from my studies and extracurriculars to the real-world.
