GSEP Urban Initiative 2.0 Community Gathering

Please join us virtually on Friday, March 11, 2022 from 6 - 7:30 PM PST for The Urban Initiative 2.0. The Urban Initiative 2.0 at the Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) seeks to link community partners committed to understanding and addressing the mental health and educational issues of the underserved in Los Angeles and around the world.Together with our guest of honor, Dr. Cornel West, GSEP invites you to an evening of inspiration and dialogue. 

We will honor:

• Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis, the 1st elected president of the American Psychological Association under the age of 50, and the 4th black woman to hold the role
• GSEP alumni trailblazers from the original 79th and Vermont campus who exemplify the GSEP Urban Initiative mission
• Pepperdine GSEP's Foster Grandparent program's 50 years of multigenerational community volunteerism 

GSEP has a long tradition of engagement with its urban neighbors. For more than 50 years, we have prepared teachers, administrators, and mental health workers for service in their communities. Building on that history of service, we developed the Urban Initiative to deepen the link between GSEP professional preparation programs, community partners, and the education and mental health needs of those in urban settings.
