Cari Myers

Assistant Professor of Teaching of Religion

cari.myers@pepperdine.edu

Cari Myers is a religion professor in Seaver College who teaches REL 100 and REL 300, mostly. She is also the faculty advisor for the Ministry Internship Grant program through the Religion and Philosophy Division, where she tries to put her decades of experience in youth ministries to good use. Cari is a graduate of Seaver College and an alumna of the Heidelberg program, where she met many of her lifelong friends. While Cari has been fortunate to travel pretty extensively, she has never been to Asia and would love the chance to visit one day. But first, she is looking forward to returning to Heidelberg, and helping this summer’s student group have as transformative and meaningful a trip as she did.
