Pepperdine | Rising Tide - Season One Episode Eight

[@11teiko]

I have really grown with the RT kids, and I wouldn't have applied, gotten accepted, and enrolled at Pepperdine if it wasn't for this series. It's really touched my heart. To quote Alexander, "No matter how much you think you know...there's some things God reveals to you in time."

+Lizabetta Hi Lizabetta, we love this! This is the best comment we have received yet. Hearing you say this made all the long hours we put into the series worthwhile.

[@11teiko]

Happy to say it! RT has been such a blessing.

I am interested in Pepperdine, but I've heard it isn't a good place for LGBT students. Is that true?

[@pepperdine]

This is a great question, thank you. Pepperdine is welcoming to everyone, from all backgrounds. In fact, we have recently made steps for LGBT students to feel more welcome by officially recognizing a LGBT student club called Crossroads (newsroom.pepperdine.edu/community/2016/03/crossroads-becomes-official-student-organization-seaver-college). The pragmatist in me also recognizes that Pepperdine isn't for everyone, so I would encourage you to reach out to different members of our community, come out for a visit, and see if Pepperdine is right for you.

Pepperdine University That is great news! Also, thank you for taking the time to provide a well-crafted response! :)

I am very interested in Pepperdine, but I am Jewish. What Jewish involvement do you offer? Would I have to attend church / bible studies?

[@pepperdine]

Hi Blake, we have students from all different faith backgrounds. Pepperdine is also home of the Diane and Guilford Glazer Institute for Jewish Studies, here is a link to a list of the various classes that are offered. www.pepperdine.edu/glazer-institute/classroom/courses-offered.htm . Bible studies and church are optional, but we do have a convocation requirement. When you investigate what that means you will find that we have opportunities for everyone.
