WAVES WORSHIP, Pepperdine University’s very own worship movement, has today released a brand-new single, “UNASHAMED!” Available on all streaming platforms, the song features a bright tempo, delivering the message to all listeners, especially college students entering a new chapter of their lives, that one need not be ashamed of their life story, as each moment—high or low—bears testimony to God’s redeeming grace.

The song is the result of devoted creative work of Pepperdine staff, students, and alumni who compose WAVES WORSHIP, each working to glorify God and build his kingdom through music.

After two years of construction, Pepperdine University will officially open the doors to its new, nearly 8,000-square-foot Golf Clubhouse on Friday, September 4, 2026. Serving as the exclusive, dedicated campus home for both the men’s and women’s programs, the premier facility within the Charles B. Runnels Sports and Recreation Village unites elite athletic preparation with academic and personal development under one roof.

Situated at Firestone Fieldhouse, the clubhouse provides a central hub for daily team life, practice, and collaboration. The facility features premium training opportunities and private study spaces as well as coaches’ offices designed for strategic sessions, player development, and team unity.

According to Michael Beard (’02), head coach of the men’s golf team, the facility is a significant contribution to Pepperdine's athletic facilities, enabling student-athletes to thrive as competitors as it furthers the development of a stronger sense of community.

“Our golfers now have a home on campus,” said Beard. “The new clubhouse offers the resources and tools they need to succeed while building meaningful connections with their teammates in a space right here at Pepperdine." Beard added, "This is going to change the game for us, to be fully integrated with the rest of our athletic community on campus.”
