Essential “To-Dos” for Life Beyond Pepperdine
Are you a recent Pepperdine graduate? The Pepperdine Alumni Association is here to
serve you and help you stay connected to the Pepperdine family. Here are a few things
you need to do upon graduating to stay connected with Pepperdine:
Update Your Alumni Information
In order to stay up to date on the latest events and information about Pepperdine,
and to receive important alumni materials (like your Alumni ID Card!), we need to
know where to best reach you. Please update your contact information at pepperdine.edu/alumni/update with your preferred e-mail and mailing address within 90 days of graduating.
Take Advantage of E-mail Forwarding
Your time at Pepperdine is coming to a close and, unfortunately, the same is true
of your @pepperdine.edu e-mail account. Within 90 days of graduating, this e-mail
address will no longer be accessible or available. Fortunately, you can still retain
the Pepperdine name in your e-mail address! In place of a full-service e-mail account,
Pepperdine provides all alumni with a customized @alumni.pepperdine.edu address, which
can be forwarded to any third-party e-mail provider.
Visit the Pepperdine Marketplace
The Pepperdine Alumni Association is proud to offer a Waves- exclusive business and
service directory. Locate Pepperdine alumni-owned/affiliated businesses, reach Pepperdine-affiliated
businesses and professionals, and search for Pepperdine- exclusive discounts all through
the Pepperdine Marketplace! No membership is necessary, and no login is required.
