Businesses and Nonprofits
The Pepperdine community wants to connect our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and
parents with local businesses and non-profit communities. Through these connections,
we hope to provide service, mutually support, share knowledge and best practices,
create mentorship opportunities, and create job and intern positions for our students
and alumni.
