Pepperdine Parents and Families By connecting parents and family members to resources, special events, and important information related to the University, Pepperdine ensures parents are actively involved in their student’s Pepperdine journey. Pepperdine Parent and Family Network
Parent and Family Leadership Council
As a part of the larger Pepperdine Network including alumni, students, and parents, the Pepperdine Parent Network (PPN) is a no-cost membership association and serves as a vehicle for parents and families of both current and former students who want to connect with Pepperdine on a deeper level. The PPN fosters a community of volunteerism and offers opportunities to engage with Pepperdine through service, spiritual life, sponsorship, and support. Members are encouraged to volunteer their time and talents and are also invited to a variety of campus programs and special events. As a way to stay informed and connected with the most up-to-date information, members will receive timely newsletters.
The PFLC is a select group of dedicated parents and family members who serve as ambassadors to the Pepperdine family community and provide philanthropic support for students at Pepperdine. Through meetings and activities, members explore the council’s philanthropic initiatives and share this information with the broader parent community. Annual commitments to PFLC begin at $1,000 and are designated to specific projects identified as priorities by University leadership.
