Testimonials
My time at Pepperdine tremendously impacted my character and my career. My experience is beyond anything I could’ve imagined, and I am proud to call it my university. During my time in school, I participated in many organizations, some of which include the Wave Pool Investment Club, the Esports team, and the Career Center. Reflecting back on these experiences, I am thankful for the inspiring people I’ve met and the growth in character resulting from life-changing relationships. The Pepperdine culture encourages deep friendship, generosity, and a strong sense of purpose. The principles by which Pepperdine stands by have built a strong foundation for my career and my life. In the post-grad professional world, I frequently find myself leaning on these principles as my support to continuously grow and develop strong character.
