Pepperdine Ambassadors Council

Our Mission

The Pepperdine Ambassadors Council (PAC) plays a vital role in supporting the University president and the Office of Advancement by serving as a student representative both within Pepperdine and in the broader community. PAC members act as student ambassadors, championing the University’s mission of preparing students for lives of purpose, service, and leadership

Who We Are

PAC is composed of dedicated students from Pepperdine University's undergraduate school, Seaver College. PAC members are selected for their commitment to advancing Pepperdine’s mission, their enthusiasm for serving as volunteer representatives, and their passion for supporting the University’s goals and initiatives. By bridging gaps within the University and the local community, PAC plays a crucial role in enhancing the University’s impact.

PAC History

PAC was established by a group of students seeking greater leadership opportunities and a chance to give back to the institution that supported them.

Initially known as the Pep 20, this group was created to serve under the Office of the President to, promote a positive image of Pepperdine. In 1992, PAC transitioned from the Alumni Relations Office to University Advancement, broadening its role to represent the entire student body at official University events. 

For the 2024–2025 academic year, PAC consists of 21 ambassadors who continue to uphold the traditions and ideals of the original Pep 20. These ambassadors hold leadership roles across various campus organizations including the Student Government Association, Campus Ministry, Housing and Residential Life, Greek organizations, athletic teams, and study abroad programs. Their diverse involvement ensures that PAC members authentically embody the Pepperdine experience and exemplify the University’s core values.
