RISE Summit 2024 Wednesday

Join us for the 2024 RISE Summit on Wednesday, February 21!

The RISE Summit is RISE’s annual conference-style event celebrating resilience in the Pepperdine community. Each year, the event features students, faculty, staff, and outside speakers who share compelling stories of resilience to inspire our community. This year, the RISE Summit will focus on the Spiritual Dimension of resilience, and our speakers' stories will focus on moving through past or ongoing personal challenges by leaning on their faith.

This year, in partnership with Pepperdine faculty Dr. John Peterson and the NetVUE Grant, the RISE Summit will feature Dr. Deanna A. Thompson as the keynote speaker. There will be two RISE Summit sessions:

• Lunch Keynote Session | 12-1:30PM | Fireside Room (Register Here): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7Ociy-LnJ9AUwZVd-TAS2z-u_Lcz_BQvV8uqPjsdANoRTbA/viewform
