Office of Community Engagement
Our Mission
The Office of Community Engagement builds relationships between Pepperdine students, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents, with individuals, nonprofits, and businesses, in Malibu and around the world, for the mutual benefit of the University community and its neighboring communities.
It does so through the efforts of the Crest Advisory Board (community board) and with strategic planning and development of internal and external engagement initiatives with partners that are in alignment with the University’s values and mission. We work to facilitate these connections through helpful communication channels via the web, social media, and personal connections.
Our Vision
Our vision is to connect our students and faculty experts with business and nonprofit communities to provide service, share knowledge and best practices, create mentorship opportunities, and offer job and intern positions to our students and alumni.
We invite individual residents, nonprofits, and businesses to learn more about Pepperdine University and how they can engage and connect with our talented students, faculty, and staff through the myriad of opportunities that are found on this page and through Pepperdine’s Office of Community Engagement.
