Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I give when I'm still in school / while I'm still paying for school? Your gift casts your "vote of confidence" in Pepperdine and will help future Waves and you!
Will my donation really make a difference? Giving is based on participation, not dollar amount. Many of us don't have a lot to give right now, but we can still start a healthy habit of giving back to the place we've called home for four years.
What is the Student Philanthropy Council (SPC)? SPC is a newly established (spring 2014), student-run council at Pepperdine that helps educate and inspire students to give back to Pepperdine.
I’m not studying abroad why should I give to this campaign? If you are doing Year2 in Malibu, the funds you raise can help your programming like trips to San Francisco, Catalina and other events or retreats.
