Waves of Flags: Flag Lowering 2026
Join alumni, students, parents, and community members to partake in this beloved Pepperdine tradition as we carefully remove the annual Waves of Flags display in Alumni Park. This installation of 2,977 flags to honor those who died in the 9/11 attacks draws local and national attention, and has provided comfort and hope in the field of flags waving on our campus lawn. Show your Pepperdine spirit by wearing blue and orange, and join us for this rewarding service project on this 25th anniversary year of the 9/11 attacks. More information will be provided to registrants (e.g. parking and meeting location).
Location: Pepperdine Malibu Campus (Alumni Park) 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu CA 90263
Cost: This event is free of charge.
Age Requirements: Children ages 12 and older are permitted to help with flag installation. All children must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
