Step Forward Day 25

On September 7, 2013, Pepperdine celebrated the 25th year of Step Forward Day. This makes it one of the oldest, most consistent service events in the country. More than 1,600 friends, new and old, took a "step forward" that we hope will lead you to serve for the rest of the year. Step Forward Day is a simple yet significant way the Pepperdine community is a neighbor and participates in our mission and calling.

Thank You for Taking the First Step Forward

All parts of the university participated. We had student, staff, faculty, and alumni from all Pepperdine schools participate with Step Forward Day this year. Family and friends also joined us. To those of you who served on September, 7: Thank you.

#sfd25 and #25challenge: Keep Serving

Tell us about what impacted you the most using #sfd25 on social media. Then take the 25 challenge, and keep serving throughout the semester.
