At Pepperdine University, our students are our greatest investment and most enduring contribution to the world. Their talents and ambitions inspire us to expand rigorous programs, faculty mentorship, and meaningful scholarship that prepare them to lead with character and courage. Your partnership advances their formation and strengthens the University’s academic excellence—so they may live, lead, and serve for greater purpose.
It is important that students be taught that their place in the world is to serve and to give… Our goal is to teach the student how to live, as well as how to make a living.
Pepperdine College Founder, 1937
For Greater Purpose
At Pepperdine purpose is more than a pursuit—it’s a calling. It drives us to lead, to serve, and to love, knowing that our work is part of something far greater than ourselves. Rooted in faith and propelled by a higher mission, we are designed, prepared, and equipped for Greater Purpose.
Campaign Progress
We’ve made great strides, but bringing this vision to life relies on the shared leadership and generosity of our whole University community.
Campaign Priorities
Through this comprehensive campaign, Pepperdine is mobilizing efforts across our schools, programs, and global initiatives to elevate scholarship, nurture faith and wellness, expand access, and enhance our campuses.
