Pepperdine Ambassadors Council

The Pepperdine Ambassadors Council (PAC) is comprised of a small cross-section of Pepperdine University's undergraduate school, Seaver College. PAC exists to serve as a link between the student body of Seaver College and the greater Pepperdine community. PAC also strives to build a bridge between Pepperdine and the surrounding Malibu community.

This group is meant for students who are committed to furthering the mission of Pepperdine, who feel called to serve the University as volunteer representatives, and who are passionate about helping Pepperdine fulfill our mission and attain our ambitious goals.

The Pepperdine Ambassadors Council would like to invite all juniors and seniors to apply. Applications will be available in August for the 2023-2024 academic year.

 

About PAC

PAC Mission

Pepperdine Ambassadors Council (PAC) exists to serve the University by building bridges between the administration and the students, as well as the community and the University. PAC also strives to represent and carry out the mission statement of the University. Each Ambassador strives to be a good citizen and owns the University's mission statement as their own personal credo.

PAC History

Pepperdine Ambassadors Council was originally created by a group of students who felt a need for greater leadership opportunities as well as the need to give back to the very same institution that supported them.

The group, which was originally called the Pep 20, was brought together to serve under the Office of the President. Through their pride and enthusiasm they promoted the positive image of Pepperdine. In 1992, the Pepperdine Ambassadors Council was moved from the Alumni Relations Office to University Advancement, where it is today. By redirecting its energies to advancing the University as a whole, the group would represent all Pepperdine students at official University events. For the 2023–2024 academic year, the Pepperdine Ambassadors Council has a membership of 20 ambassadors who uphold the same traditions and ideals of the original Pep 20.

Ambassadors have held leadership positions in many areas of student development such as the Student Government Association, Campus Ministry, the Housing and Residential Life Office, Greek organizations, and many other campus-wide groups. The Pepperdine Ambassadors Council believes that it can best represent the University by being an integral part of its everyday life.
