Immediate Source of Acquisition
The collection was transferred to Special Collections and University Archives by Samantha Ellis, Administrative Assistant
for the Volunteer Center, on December 10, 2014.
The Pepperdine Volunteer Center was established in 1988 as a way for students to become involved in community outreach and
service. The organization offers Pepperdine University's students opportunities to participate in weekly or monthly programs,
including Tutoring Plus, Special Equestrian Riding Therapy, and the Senior Citizen Connection program. Additionally, the Pepperdine
Volunteer Center also sponsors annual events aimed at engaging Pepperdine University students in service work. Every September
since its creation in 1988, the Pepperdine Volunteer Center has hosted Step Forward Day, where students participate in day-long
service opportunities in local areas. Though some of the organization's programs have changed throughout time, the Pepperdine
Volunteer Center continues to provide Pepperdine University students with opportunities to participate in outreach and service
within their communities.
The Pepperdine Volunteer Center Records is composed primarily of photographs, negatives, and slides that document the programming
and events of the Volunteer Center. The collection also contains printed materials including notebooks, yearbooks, and scrapbooks
and audiovisual materials primarily in the forms of mini DV cassettes, DVDs, and VHS cassettes. The collection contains materials
from the organization's creation in 1988 and spanning to materials produced in 2009. Many of the materials within the collection
center on Step Forward Day, an annual event hosted by the Volunteer Center. Other materials document additional programming
and events as well as the Pepperdine Volunteer Center staff.
The collection is organized into the following series: 1. Photographs, Negatives, and Slides; 2. Printed Materials; and 3.
