We bet you’ll have more in common
than you thought.
Scavenger Hunt Instructions:
This activity will take 10 minutes.
“It’s time for you to see the diversity in the room as well as see what you have in
common with people. When I say “go”, stand up and to try to find 2-3 other people
with the same thing in common.
Scavenger Hunt 1: same birthday month
Scavenger Hunt 2: same major
Scavenger Hunt 3: same number of siblings
Scavenger Hunt 4: born in the same State or country

EXPLORE WITH A PURPOSE!
Develop goals for yourself:
• Turn to the goal development page in your flight manual
•Get in groups of 3-4 people and share your initial ideas about goals for 1-2
developmental areas and what potential mechanisms are there to help you
achieve your goals. (5 minutes total for activity)
• Take 5 minutes to draft at least 3 goals for yourself and create an
accountability mechanism and write it down on the following page ( 5
minutes)
Goal Development Activity: 10 minutes in length
You are making a major investment in attending an international program. Make the
most of it by making goals for yourself and creating a mechanism to help ensure you
meet your goals.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE UP?
Every culture has norms and values.
What are your values
and how does that compare to host culture?
How Do You Measure Up?
This activity will take 10-15 minutes:
To prep: you may need to go outside for this. Put a long straight line of masking tape
on the ground to create a continuum that everyone in the group can stand on top of.
This is a values/norms activity to help students understand their own values and how
those values are the same or are different from the norms/values of your host culture
as well as American culture. These are general norms based upon the culture’s
general norms. While we cannot assume these values are shared among a vast
majority of people from this culture, we can assume these are generally true.
1. Go through each of the cultural norms one at a time and ask students to stand on
the tape which represents the continuum. After each cultural norm/value is shared,
tell students to line up on the continuum based upon their personal preferences.
Then, ask at least 2 people the following question after you share what the host
cultural norm is for that particular norm:
2. Why did you choose to stand there?
3. How does your personal preference compare to the norm of the host culture (or
US culture) and what might you do in response?
1. Displays of affection. Between men and women this must be completely private--no PDA
whatsoever. Even among married couples it is inappropriate in public. Some conservative men
and women will even avoid shaking hands. I have seen some very conservative Muslim men
put their hand over their heart rather than extend it to shake a woman's hand--especially if she
is wearing a veil, but even with western women. (Conversely, some men may actually take
advantage of the opportunity to shake a western woman's hand--for different reasons--even
when they might not do so with a local woman. That is, some younger men might wish to
experience physical contact that may otherwise be frowned upon, while some men may simply
be attempting to be polite and welcoming by adopting the visitor's customs--or what they
believe are the visitor's customs. And sometimes it may be a combination of motivations.) In a
formal introduction in an academic or social setting, especially in some educated circles, it
may be appropriate for men and women to shake hands; however, under no circumstances
should one attempt a kiss on the cheek as is done in some European societies, for example.
In some Arab societies it is OK for men to pal around among each other a bit, e.g., an arm
around the shoulder may be an approximate equivalent to a "bro" hug and slap on the back in
the U.S. I have seen some instances where men may hold hands, but it is not as widespread
as in some other countries in Asia or Africa . There have been some very public campaigns
against men perceived to be homosexual, especially in Egypt, but holding hands does not
necessarily connote that. Nevertheless, I would exercise caution in public in that regard as well
as the socio-political climate may have changed as of late. Men's social bubbles are smaller or
closer than in the west, and thus men may walk closer to one another, sit closer, interact more
closely in conversation. In general, Arab women maintain closer physical proximity to one
another than American women usually do. If and when they dance, as in some weddings, men
and women usually dance in gender separated groups apart from each other, depending on
the situation and social class.

2.Time orientation. Depending on the nature of the meeting, a few minutes tardiness is not
usually a big problem. I would generally not want to arrive more than five or ten minutes late
for a class meeting, however, and I wouldn't make a habit of it either. For some social events it
may not be a problem to arrive later than that. For a gathering at a home or even a cafe for
example, the Arabs tend to be more flexible than Europeans or Americans.

3. Tasks versus relationships. When compared to the U.S., definitely much closer to
relationship oriented than task oriented. In some instances, people will try to help you even
when they do not have the means to do so. I've heard a number of tales of locals not knowing
where a destination is yet attempting to guide the lost traveler--anywhere, even if it is not the
place desired--rather than leaving the visitor on their own. Yet, that does not mean that one
should not ask for directions. On the contrary, the locals will more often than not get you where
you want to go, even if it is considerably out of their way.

5. Pinnacle of Life. Youth is greatly appreciated yet they usually show reverence and respect
to elders and address them with particular formal titles, even and especially if they are not
precisely accurate. In many Arab countries, it is polite to address senior citizens by the title of
haajj ("pilgrim") with the implication that they have made the hajj to Mecca. Likewise, in some
Arab countries it is common to address an employee by a title considered socially higher. In
Egypt, for example, one might address a bus driver as "muhandis" ("engineer") and so forth.

LUNCH CHALLENGE
In groups of 3-5 people, research an interesting
travel location that is near your International
Programs location that you could visit. Be ready
to share the location, cost of travel there, & 3
interesting factoids to large group immediately
after lunch!
This activity will take place during lunch. After they grab their lunch as the exit Elkins,
the leader of each group will need to gather their group members.
Facilitator divides large group into groups of 3-5 and group itself determines a group
leader for each group. That group leader is responsible for getting group together
during lunch and researching a potential travel location that is relatively near the IP
Location and they will have 1 minute to share their findings with the entire group at
the beginning of the session following lunch. For larger groups, you may want to
increase the size of the group to 5-7 students to ensure that the session moves along
quickly.
Group leader will ensure that all people in the group share at least one item within
the following areas:
1.
2.
3.
name of location
cost to travel there

THE BALANCE
SLEEP/HEALTH
SOCIAL
CLASSES
TRAVEL
Abroad will singlehandedly be one of the most exhilarating, spontaneous and growthfilled periods of your life. However, that’s not to say it won’t be difficult!
It’s important to keep in mind how many aspects you’re juggling at once. You’ll have
full time school to keep on track with, travels every weekend, a house full of
distracting friends and your own personal health to keep on track of. Success abroad
is all about the balance: find out how you de-stress and make sure to focus on
healthy habits! For example, take a night off every now and then to explore your
“home” city, go for a run every day, set aside time to be productive with your studies,
or have a weekly coffee date with one of your housemates. However you best keep a
balanced life, think about that beforehand and put it into action!

ACADEMICS
DO NOT expect overseas classes to be EASY!
It’s the same amount of class hours as Malibu,
but finished in less time.
2.0 GPA requirement for this semester’s grades
as well cumulative GPA
One of the main goals of Pepperdine’s International Programs is to enrich the quality
of the student’s academic experience. The integration of cultural ideas has always
been at the core of the liberal arts tradition, and its importance is even greater now
in an age that values multicultural diversity and globalization.
We assume that you have as your top priority a responsible commitment to academic
success. Certainly, we encourage you to get to know the city in which you will live and
the other parts of your host country, as well as experience travel.
You should have no expectation that the courses you complete overseas will be
easier than those back in Malibu or that they will be modified to meet your travel
needs. Thus, it is your responsibility to meet all class expectations and deadlines.
Tests and final examinations will be given according to the academic calendar.
Neither adjustment in class schedules nor in other scheduled academic events will be
made to accommodate visitors, travel, or transportation schedules.
You should make sure that the courses you elect to take here are compatible with
your degree requirements and your intended deadline for graduation
Both class AND field trip performances have a bearing on the final grade for every
course taught. The most important part of your overseas experience is your academic
participation and performance.
SPIRITUAL LIFE

remaining sensitive to the culture around you?
c.
What God-given gifts have you come to identify in yourself? How could
you use those gifts to contribute to the spiritual life of your community
in Jordan this summer?

Together
&
Serving
As
Leaders
Together
International Programs bring you a great opportunity with a great Fall series called L.
I.G.H.T. “Living in God's Home Together”
These will be similar in format to those SALT Convos that we all know and love, but
LIGHT’S goal is to welcome you back, rather than equipping you to go out. These will
be student-taught and student-led with testimony and insight from your peers.
More than anything, our hope is to give students an opportunity to be together again
in the same space. And in a meaningful way -share your life, time, and hearts with
one another. There will be fellowship, stories and conversation about how we take
those huge, impactful, life-giving and life-altering truths that we learned being away
from the Malibu campus and bring them back to another place we call home.
This is a great way to stay connected and stay involved!
SALT, the Spring Convocation series. Serving as Leaders Together. This program
series highlights each program’s spiritual component and returning students have an
opportunity to share this in a voluntary role for their program through testimonials.
Great way to get involved with the new students going to BA and share with them
what to expect while there, and also a great venue to express your time and
experiences when

Obtain a leadership role while promoting a learning exchange program with
Pepperdine students and staff. This is an excellent way of serving the community and
keeping your language skills proficient.
Key Responsibilities:
Begin recruiting immediately each semester; speak in Spanish classes, contact
professors to distribute information, contact IP alumni from Buenos Aires and Madrid
who still attend Pepperdine
Arrange student-staff pairs quickly but carefully, taking into account both partners'
language skills and personalities, as well as schedules and personal commitments
Plan at least one gathering each semester (including an end-of-the-year celebration)
for all members of the program, as well as one Convocation event during the year
Build an environment of trust between Pepperdine students and staff while
increasing cultural and language competency

Special hygiene products
Medications
Good walking/hiking shoes
Textbooks
Hat--Jordan is a desert and can be very hot!
Practical, machine washable, wrinkle resistant, and colorfast that will last longer and
be more comfortable.
Medications: bring your supply from home. US prescriptions will not be filled from
overseas. When traveling, keep it in the container it comes in from the Pharmacy.
Generic brands of over the counter medications may be found locally, but specific
brands may not be found locally. We suggest you bring a basic supply with you. The
Program Staff will not provide any medication.
Roll your clothes instead of folding them. Saves space and leaves room for overseas
purchases
Wear your heaviest and bulkiest shoes and your coat or jacket on the plane so you
won’t have to pack them.
Don’t forget to save space for your textbooks.
WHAT NOT TO BRING
•Cash/credit cards: what to keep on you?
•Linens or towels
•Pillows or blankets
•Expensive jewelry or valuables
•Too many shoes
•Anything you don’t absolutely need
less
is
more!
Read slide list:
Avoid over-packing your bag so that the airport screener at security will be able to
easily reseal your bag if it is opened for inspection.
Avoid packing food and drinks
DO be sure to place ID tags with your name, and contact numbers on all of your
baggage, including your laptop computer.
