Testimonials
"My enjoyment in Pepperdine activities, outreach and events has been a rewarding personal experience that I am unable to keep to myself and tell other residents bringing a 'second act' of enjoyment to encourage others to join me. " —Mari Stanley, Malibu Resident"As Malibu residents, we are grateful for the many benefits we enjoy from connecting with the Pepperdine University community. Fabulous arts and sports programming are among the highlights." —Emily and Sheldon Lodmer, Malibu residents
"I didn't know when I moved here 30 years ago how much Pepperdine would become part of our lives, from watching shows at Smothers Theatre, to my children preforming there, using the many facilities, putting on programs for Malibu's K-12 school children, playing tennis and watching Pepperdine's tennis team, to making many friends, Pepperdine has been a great neighbor." —Fiona Corrigan, Malibu resident
