COVID-19 Planning and Preparedness

Pepperdine University continues to closely follow the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and has a comprehensive plan in place to protect the well-being of the University community. The University's Emergency Operations Committee (EOC) is working closely with University stakeholders, as well as an outside infectious disease expert; consulting with International SOS regarding international programs and travel risk assessment; and following advice from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The University continues to update its pandemic emergency response plan to reflect current COVID-19 circumstances. As developments occur, the plan addresses many possible scenarios at all University campuses with the ultimate goal to best protect the community.
