THE BENEFIT OF MY ACADEMIC SUPPORT TEAM

JALEN

In the weeks leading up to New Student Orientation, Pierre reached out to us individually to welcome us to Cal Lutheran. Since then, he has been so engaged with everyone in our group, always offering to help out and answer any questions. I know I can count on him whenever I need some words of encouragement or to share a laugh.

CECELY ZAMORA, Junior Major: Business Administration with an emphasis in Management (Moorpark College Transfer)

Cecely’s Faculty Mentor: Susan Murphy, PhD Professor, Business Administration

Cecely’s Student Success Counselor: Monica Madrigal Lopez, MS

“

I appreciate the support I’ve gotten from my whole team. Without these people keeping me in check grade-wise, I wouldn’t be seeing the academic achievements I have so far. ”

NINA

“Thanks to my academic support team, the transition to university life has been smooth and enjoyable. They answer my questions and provide me with the information I need to succeed. And they are easily accessible and always ready to help. “

CECELY

“Considering all their other responsibilities, it’s humbling how my team always finds the time to help me with anything I need. I’m just one student here on campus, but I know I’m not alone because I have this group to cheer me on. “

Tracy Nickl, Lecturer Marketing

IN THE TRENCHES EXPERIENCE

• Wall Street: at top financial services firms developing relationships and opportunities for clients

• Wealth management: helping individuals, families and organizations grow and protect their wealth

• Healthcare: building international markets at Blue Cross and Blue Shield and various start-ups

“I regularly bring in guest lecturers to provide diverse perspectives. I also teach a class called Communication for Managers, designed to help students prepare for the world of work. Students identify target jobs and interview professionals who do those jobs to get a real-life perspective. Throughout the semester, they create resumes and cover letters and conduct mock interviews, then they apply for a position or internship.”

Michael Abdelsayed, PhD Biology

PROFESSORS REPORT

MY IN THE

IN THE TRENCHES EXPERIENCE

• Worked as chief scientific officer for a biotech startup developing molecules for targeted drug delivery

• Conducts funded research in molecular biology and genetics, publishes findings in scientific journals, and presents at conferences

“I have learned that communicating science is one of the most valuable assets you can have as a scientist. I try to develop the scientific literacy skills of all my students, so they are prepared to communicate at a high level, either in academic presentations or any industry. All my students are expected to read primary literature and present a research paper. Every semester I take students to the University of California, Irvine, to meet professional scientists and join a lab meeting, where scientists present their findings and discuss ways to approach their research projects.”

Music Production

IN THE TRENCHES EXPERIENCE

• 17-time Grammy winner

• Works with top Latin artists including Santana, Mana, Marco Antonio Solis, Luis Miguel and Armando Manzanaro

• At A&M Studios, worked with artists including Barbra Streisand and Herb Alpert

“I bring real-world teaching to the students, including field trips to world-class studios in Hollywood and introductions to talented music professionals. In my Music Production class, students choose a song and work on it from the beginning stages of pre-production to final recording, like real producers. Real-life experience is very important in providing students with the tools and information to get into the music industry.”

TRENCHES

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & HOW IT BENEFITS MY STUDENTS

IN THE TRENCHES EXPERIENCE

• A practicing criminal defense and family law attorney with over a decade of experience in San Diego and Ventura counties

• Founding partner in the law firm Clunen and Oakman

“

Practicing attorneys bring experience and stories that not only educate, but show students real career paths available to them. A story in class is not only to illustrate the topic but to show them the type of cases they may be faced with while practicing. In Criminal Law and Procedure, my students observe a preliminary hearing at the courthouse. For Constitutional Law, I have them write and argue a suppression motion, which is everyday practice for constitutional lawyers.”

STUDY ABROAD FEATURED EXPERIENCE:

MADRID, SPAIN

Madrid

Leroy Stoneham, Senior

Majors: Spanish & Political Science with an emphasis in Law and Public Policy

Where: Madrid, Spain

When: Fall 2022

Favorite Class?

“Art History. Once a week we visited the museum to see the paintings we were discussing in class. It felt extra special because we weren’t allowed to take pictures or videos, so we only have our memories of the beautiful art.”

DURING HIS SEMESTER ABROAD, LEROY ATTENDED THE IES ABROAD PROGRAM AT UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID HE LOVED LEARNING ABOUT SPAIN’S RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROOM WITH STUDENTS FROM SPAIN, BRAZIL AND CHINA.

A Highlight?

“Definitely the cultural activities. I saw my first flamenco show and was absolutely enchanted by the beauty and work put into it. The show was so vibrant and full of life — everyone in the room was captivated.”

What’s Next?

Leroy’s career goal is to become an attorney. Since learning how to navigate in a new country and foreign language, Leroy says it’s easier for him to understand different world views and experiences.

The program offered many chances for cultural exchanges, from visiting ancient castles and museums to cooking and flamenco lessons. The courses were great. I took a wide range of classes that I normally wouldn’t take.

My study abroad experience has allowed me to encounter the world in a very different way.

THE ECHO

Cal Lutheran’s Award-Winning Newspaper

HOW does a student get involved with The Echo?

By taking COMM 431, Working on The Echo. In this class, students get hands-on training while planning and producing content as reporters and editors. They can then stay on as staff, working up to leadership positions on the paper.

HOW

WHAT type of content does The Echo present?

The paper is organized into four sections: news, sports, features and opinion. It is published five times a semester in print and has a weekly e-newsletter and a biweekly podcast. The print edition has special content, like fan favorite “Gumby Gossip,” where a roaming reporter asks Cal Lutheran community members their thoughts on current topics of interest.

WHAT

EL ECO

Cal Lutheran’s Spanish-Language Newspaper

WHO creates the content for El Eco?

Reporters from The Echo partner with students in SPAN 301, Conversation & Composition, mentoring them on reporting and writing. The Spanish language students choose the topics, conduct interviews, and write their own articles in Spanish. El Eco is produced once a semester and is inserted in The Echo for distribution across campus.

WHO

WHY is having a Spanish-language paper important?

Most students on the El Eco staff also are earning a Spanish Media minor, the only program of its kind at a private California university. El Eco complements the work they do in the minor producing content and networking with media professionals, giving them valuable contacts and experience in the Spanish media market.

WHY

iCLU RADIO

Cal Lutheran’s Web-Based Radio Station

WHEN can a student get experience as on-air talent and/or producing?

Within weeks of starting COMM 343, Working @ iCLU. The station’s line-up changes based on the student’s interest, and many stay involved in the station through iCLU Radio Club. Students from various majors — like communication, music production, marketing, theater, and film and television — produce programs, create station commercials, run social media, do voiceovers, and broadcast live sports across campus.

WHEN

WHERE can iCLU Radio be found on campus?

The state-of-the-art studios are in the CLU Broadcast Center — also home to KCLU, the award-winning on-campus NPR station. But the station broadcasts remotely from all over campus and events sponsored by iCLU Radio are some of the most popular on campus — like CalLuPalooza,* Halloween Bash and open mic nights.

Working on The Echo has helped me develop strong verbal and written communication skills. As a staff writer, I write a new article every week. I prefer news and feature stories because I get to interview the people behind the scenes at Cal Lutheran.

KENNEDY LUM, Junior Major: Communication with an emphasis in Journalism

Having a Spanish language newspaper is really important because it connects us with the Latinx/Hispanic community. We get to hear from them and write about their experiences.

RACHEL MARTINEZ , Senior Majors: Communication & Spanish + El Eco Editor

I’ve been a part of iCLU Radio since my freshman year. I came in with no experience, and I had my own radio show within two weeks! Working with iCLU has given me so much confidence, particularly in public speaking.

LAINEY RANJO , Senior

Major: Communication

Minor: Film and Television + Radio Club President

* Along with live music, last year’s festival featured food trucks, caricature artists, fortune tellers, a flower bar, 360° photo booths and glitter henna.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN

CAL LUTHERAN’S SEED PROJECT GARDEN IS A HUB OF ACTIVITY AND LEARNING WHERE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TAKES PART IN SUSTAINABLE EDIBLE EDUCATION.

Produce from the garden is available for free at a farm stand set up at Jack’s Corner in the middle of campus.

In fall, 18 classes used the garden as a learning laboratory and one professor held office hours among the 19 types of vegetables being grown.

First-year students prepped the SEEd Garden for the year during “You Got Served,” their orientation service project.

Major: Business Administration with an emphasis in Management

ANGEL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB

Internship: Operations Intern; Current Position: Soccer Operations Coordinator

What did you do during your internship?

I built all the gym equipment for the players and was the driving force behind compiling our professional training goals. I also assisted the technical staff in setting up and breaking down the field for training, and I was responsible for completing administrative tasks.

How did you transform your internship into a full-time job?

It might sound cliché, but hard work is what helped me become full-time at Angel City. I took initiative, completed tasks that were

outside of my job description and helped wherever I could, without hesitation. Being readily available lets managers know how interested and committed you are to the company’s overall goals.

How did your Cal Lutheran education prepare you for success?

My business classes taught me how to collaborate in groups and how to manage my time. At its core, the sports industry is a business. Behind the glitz and glamour, the people working behind the scenes put in a lot of work to make things happen.

Makenna Alter ’21

Major: Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY

Internship: Disney College Program

Current Position: Addressable Sales Planner*

What did you do during your internship?

I worked at Toy Story Mania in Toy Story Land. My responsibilities included collaborating with other “cast members” at different rides to prioritize our work and to learn the different protocols. I also created exceptional guest experiences (“magical moments”) by accommodating guests with enthusiasm and service beyond the status quo.

How did you transform your internship into a full-time job?

It’s a known fact that participating in any Disney internship can help pave the way into your next role at Disney. When my dream job was posted, I had faith that it would help me compete against

Alrick Drummond ’22

thousands of applicants. Throughout my interviews, I was able to sprinkle in experience from my internship, and that made all the difference. Fast-forward to present day, and I’m a year into this position. I feel beyond grateful for the Disney College Program because it helped turn my dreams into reality!

How did your Cal Lutheran education prepare you for success?

Cal Lutheran provided me with an exceptional academic experience. I received a very personalized education which helped me grow both as a student and a professional. With the many extracurricular opportunities available, I was able to create my own personal college experience, finding areas that I knew would help me in my career.

Major: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Internship: Clinical Supply Chain Intern

Current Position: Site Supply Chain Senior Associate

What did you do during your internship?

I did a project analyzing the raw materials that go into our drug products. I worked with a variety of people in different departments to determine where the problem points were, and proposed solutions and resolutions.

How did you transform your internship into a full-time job?

When I was getting ready to graduate, my communication skills and previous internship experiences really helped me get my full-time job at Amgen. The connections I’d made there allowed me to utilize my network and get noticed by the hiring managers.

How did your Cal Lutheran education prepare you for success?

STEM classes taught me all about time management and prioritization and provided an invaluable foundation of knowledge. If I hadn’t been prepped by my biology classes, I’d have to spend a lot more time understanding how Amgen’s products work. Instead, I get to put more time and focus on serving patients!

I am so grateful for the luxury that is free laundry! This is something that might seem small, but it’s not something most schools offer. It makes the residence halls feel more like home.

ASHLYN BRYSON-BEANE, First-Year

Major: Psychology

Residence: Mt. Clef

Great Hangout Spaces

Our lounge, ‘the Plounge,’ is the best hang out space because we have a pool table, a ping-pong table and also a smart tv and seating so a large group of friends can comfortably have a night of fun.

ANTHONY DELGADILLO SALAS, Sophomore

Majors: Environmental Science & Spanish Residence: Mt. Clef

Private Bathrooms and Showers

I was so relieved! I did not like the idea of having communal bathrooms and showers at larger universities.

WE LOVE THE NIGHT LIFE!

CAL LUTHERAN STUDENTS STAY INVOLVED LONG AFTER CLASSES HAVE ENDED FOR THE DAY. ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN, THEY ARE BUSY WITH CLUB EVENTS, CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS, ATHLETIC MATCHES, ARTISTIC PERFORMANCES, AND SO MUCH MORE!

Monte Carlo Night

Students danced the night away in Great Gatsby-themed cocktail attire at this annual fall celebration. Monte Carlo Night 2022 was held among planes in a hangar at the SoCal Wing of the Commemorative Air Force Museum in nearby Camarillo. Students also had fun at casino tables and dined on yummy appetizers and desserts.

One of the hangar doors was left open and it was so awesome. There was a beautiful sunset, and we had a close-up view of planes landing and departing.

GREG PIMENTEL, Senior Major: Mathematics + ASCLUG Programs Board Director

World Fair

At the World Fair, Cal Lutheran’s annual celebration of cultural diversity, international students and globally minded clubs and departments hosted tables where students made origami, learned how to write their name in Arabic, sipped high tea, and more. Attendees also were treated to Mediterranean, Thai and Salvadorean cuisine. The pupusas were a favorite!

There were so many ways we got to learn more about different cultures, from their snacks to their hand-crafted arts. I represented the UK/Ireland, and it was wonderful to talk to people about my background and share my favorite treats from back home.

SOPHIE DAVIES , Senior Major: Political Science

Late-Night Improv

Every other Thursday, students pack the Preus-Brandt Forum to watch Cal Lutheran’s student improv troupe. Backed by a full improv band, they open with an activity to introduce that night’s theme — recently goth, slumber party and Halloween have been featured — followed by longand short-form improv games.

Our 11 p.m. performances are really something special. They’re super silly, chaotic and a little unfiltered. It’s a time for Cal Lu students to let loose and laugh. It’s a good — and sometimes needed — change of pace from the stresses of college.

TEAM TRADITIONS

BUILD UNITY, FOCUS GOALS AND HONOR PAST SUCCESS

Wearing Sunday Golds THE TRADITION

The team wears their gold uniforms exclusively on Sundays, the day on which most championship games fall, in honor of the great Sparky Anderson* who thought the Kingsmen should wear gold when ‘going for the gold.’

Running to the Cross THE

It’s a great way to get our minds strong and focused. We can see the cross on the hill from our field, and we can just look up there to remember the goals we created and the togetherness that has bonded our team throughout the years.

ISABELLA VELJACIC, Senior Major: Communication

On “report date” in August, the first day of practice, the team collectively runs up to the cross on Mount Clef Ridge, where they gather in a circle and each player states both a team and personal goal for the season.

It’s not guaranteed that you’ll make it to the championship, so it gives everyone a little extra juice to get there. I can remember countless times before a playoff game pumping each other up by saying, ‘Get to the Golds… just get to the Golds.’

CLAY RICKERMAN, Senior Majors: Communication & Sports Management

* The legendary baseball manager with several National and American League championships for whom the Kingsmen baseball field is named and the number 10 is displayed on the Sunday gold jersey.

Kingsmen Baseball THE TEAM

TRADITION

Regals Soccer THE TEAM

Before every game, we touch the blue slippers and tap the ‘All In’ bar. It reminds us to leave everything out on the field and to remember the people that came before us and built this program.

JACKSON WHITE, Junior Major: Communication

Sister Boxes THE TRADITION

Team members refer to each other as sisters. Each player writes notes to all her other team members, which are placed in individually decorated “sister boxes.”

Regals Volleyball THE TEAM

We typically do this halfway through the season, as a ‘pick-me-up’ when things start to get tough. It’s super special to read all the kind and positive things people write about you, but it’s even more amazing to write a letter to somebody you care about and tell them how you love and appreciate them.

Touching the Blue Slippers THE TRADITION

In the midst of a 1965 losing streak, a pair of bedroom slippers appeared in the team’s laundry. That night, the Kingsmen crushed a highly favored Colorado College, and went on to win a national championship. The slippers became a good-luck charm and hung near the “All In” bar over the tunnel doors until they disappeared in the early ’90s. A new pair appeared in 2008 — and the Kingsmen went on to make four NCAA playoff appearances and win five SCIAC championships!

BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER

STUDENTS SHARE THEIR FAVORITE OFF-CAMPUS SPOTS THAT DON’T BREAK THE BANK

Breakfast: EGGS ‘N’ THINGS

Mikayla Galaviz, Senior

Major: Communication with an emphasis in Journalism

Minor: Film and Television

I love me some local breakfast spots! I’m a huge fan of Eggs ‘n’ Things down the street. I love their chorizo and eggs, with the O’Brien-style potatoes and avocado, but my favorite is the complimentary Swedish pancakes with blackberry jam.

Other Recommendations from Mikayla

Breakfast: Side Street Cafe for breakfast burritos and waffles. Desserts: Carrara Pastries for the Velina and Yogurt Wildberry cakes.

Lunch: LITTLE CALF CREAMERY & CAFÉ

Anthony J. Garay, Junior

Major: Biology

The place is adorable. For lunch, I recommend their Simon’s Club. It’s my go-to spot for all things ice cream and soda pop. It’s also a super fun environment. My friends and I love to hang out there and treat ourselves after a test.

Other Recommendations from Anthony

Breakfast: Country Harvest for scrumptious pancakes and muffins. Lunch: Country Harvest (again!) for California Burger and steak fries.

Dinner: THE LAZY DOG

Riley Herbert, First-Year

Majors: Political Science & Theatre Arts

Minor: Legal Studies

I like that the decor gives off a sort of camping/outdoorsy vibe, and that they have lots of different options for food and mocktails. My favorite meal is the lettuce wrap with tofu since I’m a vegetarian, and my favorite drink is the cucumber thyme lemonade. They offer some of my favorite things during their happy hour, which is less expensive!

Other Recommendations from Riley

Breakfast: FIVE07 for the sparkling lavender lemonade and the avocado toast (“And I love that it’s owned by CLU alumni!”).

Cal Lutheran is a member of NCAA Division III Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC).
