The RISE Summit is RISE’s annual conference-style event that celebrates resilience
in the Pepperdine community. Each year, the event features students, faculty, staff,
and outside speakers who share compelling stories of resilience to inspire our community.
This year, the RISE Summit will focus on the Spiritual Dimension of resilience, and
our speakers' stories will focus on moving through past or ongoing personal challenges
by leaning on their faith.
This year, in partnership with Pepperdine faculty Dr. John Peterson and the NetVUE
Grant, the RISE Summit will feature Dr. Deanna A. Thompson as the keynote speaker!
There will be two RISE Summit sessions:
Lunch Keynote Session | 12-1:30PM | Fireside Room
Dinner Panel Session | 6-8PM | The Light House
We hope that you will join us for this meaningful time of fellowship, storytelling,
capacity building, delicious food, fun merch, and great prizes! For more details (such
as keynote speaker, student panelists, merch reveal, and prizes), check out the RISE
