From Death to Life: Virtual Easter Service 2021

Stress Management: Finding Calm in the Midst of Challenging Times
This webinar offers practical skills participants can use to combat stress and to create lifestyle changes to reduce overall stress levels, as well as strategies to employ at both work and home to assist yourself and others around you. Opportunities for self-assessment, discussion, and questions will be offered during this session.
Reminder: COVID-19 Reporting Guidelines and Face Coverings
One of our community’s greatest strengths is how well we take care of one another. As more of our students, faculty, and staff begin to return to campus, we have the opportunity to demonstrate this care through our understanding of and adherence to the University’s COVID-19 protocols. This shared responsibility also helps the University to comply with Los Angeles County mandates and is critical to ensuring the University’s successful reopening.
Living Trusts: University Credit Union and Affinity Trusts Workshop
What is a living trust? A living trust is designed to allow for the easy transfer of the trust creator's assets, while bypassing the complex and expensive legal process of probate. Living trust agreements designate a trustee who holds legal possession of assets and property that flow into the trust.
The Wisdom of Purpose: Finding Meaning in the Midst of Uncertainty
Jared Byas will share how we can be intentional about developing the internal tools that help us shape our purpose and help us to adapt when we find ourselves uncertain about what to do next.
A Special Message from Human Resources
As members of the Pepperdine community, we are charged with maintaining the standards of the University. We are all responsible for practicing integrity, honesty, and fairness in our daily work. As a Christian university affiliated with the Churches of Christ, Pepperdine treats everyone with the respect and kindness that we have been called to show one another.
