- The Pepperdine Entrepreneur Club, open to all undergraduate students, is composed of an outstanding, dedicated group of students and specializes in start-up development. They are master networkers, forging relationships with the many guest speakers that speak at meetings every few weeks. Among these speakers are executive members of large companies, investors, and strategists. This club enables student entrepreneurs to act on their ideas by partnering them with an alumni mentor.
- The Career Services Center at Seaver College hosts events that provide students with the tool kit needed to succeed as student entrepreneurs. They also offer one on one sessions in which they can help the student get started on their entrepreneurial journey by helping them plan next steps and helping them network with the right people. The Career Center also helps students find internships that appeal to their entrepreneurial interests.
- Waves of Innovation is an incredible program unique to Pepperdine that seeks to enable our best entrepreneurs to see their ideas through. It is a school-wide competition in which students (in addition to faculty and staff) submit their ideas in writing. Some of the best ideas are selected to receive grants that take them into the prototyping phase, which is also the second stage of the competition. Finally, the best prototypes receive further grant money to see the idea through to completion. It's a thrilling process, especially given that ideas can be awarded grants up to $150,000!
