任务

Pepperdine is a 基督教大学 committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

愿景

佩珀代因大学 will be a preeminent, global, 基督教大学, known for the integration of faith and learning, whose graduates lead purposeful lives as servant-minded leaders throughout the world.

我们的愿景宣言表明了我们想要成为什么样的人。 George Pepperdine envisioned an institution that would transform students' lives so that they would, in turn, impact culture. He imagined a vast body of alumni—men and women conscious of their good fortune, recipients of the generous gift of a Christian education—who would feel the moral imperative to serve others sacrificially. Hence, the school's motto: "你们白白地领受，也要白白地付出" (Matthew 10:8).
