The Movement Pepperdine is a community-first platform that bridges the gap between Pepperdine's 40,000+ Wave students and the best local businesses in Malibu, California.
We believe students deserve access to real savings, and local businesses deserve a direct line to the campus community. The Movement makes both possible — for free.
From neighborhood restaurants to gyms and boutiques — merchants across Malibu trust The Movement to connect them with Pepperdine students.
Every decision we make starts with the question: does this benefit Pepperdine students and local Malibu businesses?
Free for every Pepperdine student. Free to list for every local merchant. Access to The Movement is never behind a paywall.
We measure success by foot traffic generated, deals redeemed, and dollars saved — not vanity metrics.
The Movement exists to create a thriving local economy around Pepperdine—where students win with savings and merchants win with loyal, recurring customers from campus.
Discover how Pepperdine Waves and local Malibu businesses are thriving together.
