Dr. Daniel Overton
Professor of Communication
CCB 253
Daniel Overton is associate professor of communication at Seaver College. He teaches courses in rhetoric, leadership, ethics, and public speaking. Daniel’s own experience studying abroad as a college student was transformative for him, and he is especially grateful to serve as faculty-in-residence to be part of the Buenos Aires transformative experience for others. Daniel has worked in congregational ministry, and he now regularly serves as a spiritual mentor on campus. The community-driven nature of international programs at Pepperdine with mentorship potential was the primary reason he applied to serve. Daniel is married to Elaine, and together they have three mostly delightful daughters.
