Grant is a singer-songwriter who began her career in the Christian music industry and became a crossover pop success. She signed her first record deal at age 17 and in 1982 released her breakthrough album, Age to Age, earning her serious recognition within the growing contemporary Christian music community and ushering her into stardom. Her accolades include six GRAMMYs and more than 20 Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association, as well as stars on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Music City Walk of Fame.

"I have several connections to Pepperdine,” said Grant. “Family and friends have attended there, and I love the people I know who have graduated from there. My experiences on campus have always felt magical. I love supporting this community that encourages creativity, individuality, education and spiritual growth. Imagine a world where everyone knew how loved they were by their Creator -- what a wonderful world it would be."
