What is the Mountain?
[Hello Parents of the class of 2028! We're opening up donations to The Mountain to you! Your support and involvement as a donor mean more to us than the size of your contribution, as we believe in the power of a united community working together for a greater cause.]
Elevating the student experience and actively advancing the university's commitment to growing an authentic community of belonging, The Mountain will transform Pepperdine's campus life and raise the standard of excellence for our Waves athletics teams. Not only will this state-of-the-art complex be home to leading fitness and well-being resources for the entire Pepperdine community, the estimated 3,600-seat arena will give our basketball and indoor volleyball teams an extraordinary home court facility commensurate with those of our top competitors throughout the West Coast Conference.
Your donations benefit...
The Mountain will feature Pepperdine's ground-breaking RISE (Resilience-Informed Skills Education) program, which builds the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual resilience of our students by providing them with frameworks to navigate life's difficulties. The new RISE building will offer valuable resources helping our students to develop strategies to alleviate the stressors of college life and overcome challenging circumstances.
"[The Mountain will be] a student union in the heart of our residential community, a gathering place for food and connection, a world-class fellowship center inside a complex dedicated to serving our students' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. A long overdue athletics arena that matches our aspirations for excellence."
