The Work of Our Faculty AT THE LEADING EDGE 2021-2022
At California Lutheran University, our faculty remain focused on discovery and the future. They lay claim to their profession not as dispensers of cold facts, but as researchers and innovators who bring their subjects to life. They strive to instill in each generation of students the same sense of purpose they bring to their own work, the same desire for knowledge of what’s coming next, and the same need for greater understanding.

This is why our students are such active participants in their own education. They see their professors as both leaders and fellow learners who guide them into chosen fields where passion fuels their pursuits. We admire our faculty for their boldness, for daring to illuminate and push the boundaries of knowledge past the conventional. They teach at the leading edge, helping students to become the creators and leaders of a future where our understanding of the world –and ourselves – will be greater than today. It is with great pride that we honor their achievements and recognize their commitment to ever-expanding scholarship.

Leanne Neilson, PsyD Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
This edition of At the Leading Edge is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of Cal Lutheran faculty from June 2021 through May 2022. It includes conference presentations, journal articles, books, grants, exhibitions, performances, creative projects, awards and appointments.
Leanne Neilson Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
At Cal Lutheran, we strive to facilitate a campus culture in which both undergraduate and graduate students across all disciplines have the opportunity to participate in rigorous and meaningful research and creative scholarship with faculty mentors. In addition to presenting their research at our annual weeklong Festival of Scholars event in April, many students go on to give presentations with their faculty mentors at regional and national conferences.
As COVID-19 travel restrictions lifted during the 2021-2022 academic year, Cal Lutheran faculty were able to showcase their scholarly work at both in-person and virtual conferences. Following are some of the presentations our faculty gave with their students this year:
“As a professor, much of my time may include organizing the contents of my lecture and in careful and meticulous lesson-planning. However, I have come to realize and appreciate that some of our most important lessons are unscripted and messy, come in unwanted or unwelcome ways, and are even presented to us through very difficult challenges,” Lim said in accepting the award.
2022 President’s Award for Teaching Excellence
Lim received her BA in Social Ecology from University California, Irvine, and her MS and PhD in Criminal Justice from Indiana University, Bloomington. Since joining the Cal Lutheran faculty in 2005, Lim has served two terms as department chair. Lim has helped students develop service-learning projects that benefit community organizations. Her partners have included the Ventura County Rescue Mission and Ventura County Probation Agency. Lim’s students have conducted research and presented their findings to the organizations and at the university’s Festival of Scholars. As a former director of the university’s Center for Academic Service Learning, she helped other faculty members incorporate such experiential learning opportunities into their classes.
Helen Ahn Lim, PhD
Helen Ahn Lim, professor in the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department, received the 2022 President’s Award for Teaching Excellence. The award was created in 1995 to recognize professors who are held in high esteem by their peers, students and the rest of the university community.
Lim’s colleagues also praised the way she has supported students and faculty and created teaching moments outside the classroom since arriving at Cal Lutheran in 2005. This was particularly evident in fall 2018 when a number of events challenged the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department, including the death of recent alumnus Justin Meek during the Borderline shooting.
“She continually pushes students to see the real-world implications of what they are learning, and to envision how they can use their knowledge to improve their communities and better our criminal justice system as practitioners or as researchers,” a group of faculty members said in nominating Lim.
“Her passion and resolute commitment to service learning has not only enhanced the lives of her students, but also the health and vitality of critical community agencies,” Cal Lutheran President Lori E. Varlotta said in presenting the award. She educates her students on the problem of human trafficking. Lim has worked closely with ZOE International, an anti–child-trafficking organization, and traveled to Thailand as an invited instructor for a police training seminar during her sabbatical. She also has invited trafficking victims and experts to her classes, organized events for Cal Lutheran and the broader community, and helped students intern with ZOE.
PROVOST DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR AWARDS
“I tell my students that it really does not matter where they come from or even how many resources they have at their disposal,” Carron Montero said. “If they really work hard they can be at the cutting edge of physics, or any other field.”
The Provost Distinguished Scholar Award was developed to further the building of a community of scholars at Cal Lutheran. Each year the award is granted to two faculty members, one undergraduate faculty and one graduate faculty, who have demonstrated significant achievement in research or creative work. The award is funded by a gift from the estate of Pamela M. Jolicoeur, who was provost at Cal Lutheran from 1993 to 2004.
Carron Montero collaborates with the High Energy Physics Group at UC Santa Barbara within the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, one of the largest international scientific collaborations in history. The group’s current goal is to upgrade a section of the onion-layered CMS by replacing its light-sensitive components with a series of silicon-based detectors to enable more precise particle energy measurements. Carron Montero and his students are also analyzing past CMS data in search of Supersymmetric Particles, which have eluded the physics community for decades. A new “clean room” being constructed in Cal Lutheran’s Ahmanson Science Center will provide space for students to work on the CMS research locally.
Bedics’ recent publications include “Enhancing Therapist Responsiveness in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy” with student H. McKinley in The Responsive Psychotherapist: Attuning to Clients in the Moment, J.C. Watson and H. Wisemen (Eds.), 2021; and “Dialectical behavior therapy for suicidal self-harming youths: Emotion regulation, mechanisms, and mediators” with J. Asarnow, M. Berk, et al. in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, February 2021. He is also the editor of The Handbook of Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Theory, Research, and Evaluation published by Academic Press in 2020. In addition to his duties at Cal Lutheran, Bedics is a clinical instructor at UCLA in the Youth, Stress and Mood Program under the direction of Joan Asarnow, PhD. In this position, he is a co-investigator and lead DBT trainer on two federally funded research studies examining the effectiveness of a stepped-care model for the treatment of suicidal behavior for adolescents at risk for suicide.
Jamie D . Bedics, PhD, ABPP Associate Professor, Graduate School of Psychology
Sebastian Carron Montero, PhD Assistant Professor, Physics Sebastian Carron Montero is an experimental particle physicist, with a PhD from Duke University and subsequent postdoctoral appointments at the University of Toronto and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, where his research helped pave the way for the landmark 2012 discovery of the Higgs-like boson in the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN. He moved into the field of X-Ray free electron laser photonics as an engineer physicist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory operated by Stanford University. Currently, he carries out research in the fields of High Energy Particle Physics and Atomic and Molecular Optics.
Jamie Bedics’ expertise lies in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and the treatment of suicidal behavior. He had the privilege of working closely with the developer of DBT, Dr. Marsha Linehan, as both a clinician and researcher. In collaboration with Linehan, Bedics published research on the therapeutic relationship during DBT and examined how the interpersonal relationship between the therapist and client can affect outcome. He leads the DBT Training Specialization in the Community Counseling Centers at Cal Lutheran.
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Dean’s Award for Service
Anita Stone, PhD Assistant Professor, Biology Anita Stone received the Dean’s Award for Scholarship and Creative Work for her exceptional record of publishing and presenting with students. She has published three peer-reviewed articles with students and presented five research posters with students during her time at Cal Lutheran. A colleague wrote, “Research with Dr. Stone provides a unique, often life-changing experience, both academically (the research experience itself) and culturally. While conducting their research, students spend eight weeks immersed in a remote village in Amazonian Brazil, living with a host family and interacting with the local community. This experience develops their emotional maturity, flexibility, independence and cultural competence, all critical skills.” Stone often recruits research students from historically underserved communities in STEM. She recently received a National Science Foundation grant to support her research endeavors with students.
FACULTY AWARDS
Bryan Rasmussen, PhD Professor, English Bryan Rasmussen received the Dean’s Award for Innovation in Pedagogy in recognition of his contributions to delivering effective teaching and learning experiences. Rasmussen uses “place-based” pedagogy to connect students to their environment, where they can explore environmental and social justice issues at the individual, community and global levels. For a recent project, his students created a digital “Story Map” of the Los Angeles River, exhibiting their research into social issues including gentrification, Indigenous rights, pollution, public health, poverty and nature access. Projects like this are designed to connect student research with the community, raise awareness and investigate solutions.

Ryan Medders, PhD Associate Professor, Communication Ryan Medders received the Dean’s Award for Service for exemplifying the notions of vocation, service and justice embedded in Lutheran higher education and the Cal Lutheran mission. Considerations for this award include service to the campus community, civic and not-for-profit organizations, and Ventura County and the broader region. Medders has gone above and beyond in his work as Faculty Regent Representative. He has met formally and informally with faculty groups to solicit their opinions, hear their concerns and better represent faculty to the Board of Regents. He has developed strong relationships with faculty, administration and board members. He works for the good of the whole Cal Lutheran community to bring everyone together to address issues transparently, effectively and efficiently.

FACULTY AWARDS

Michael Cosenza, EdD Professor, Learning and Teaching
Michele Dean received the Graduate School of Education’s award for Outstanding Service to the university and community. A tireless advocate for Cal Lutheran, Dean is often one of the first members of the community to willingly volunteer to serve within the GSOE. She has helped lead multiple conversations on race, justice and equity for the faculty and the university supervisors who work closely with our teacher candidates. Her service extends throughout the community with significant contributions to the Ventura County Office of Education, the Ventura County chapter of the California Association for Bilingual Education, and other community organizations that she has been actively involved with for many years.
Mel Spence received the Graduate School of Education’s award for Outstanding Achievement in Teaching. Well respected as an accomplished educator for many years, Spence embodies the qualities of excellence in teaching: prepared, engaging, insightful and rigorous, while remaining relaxed and student centered. As one student said of her, “She taught in a way that was comprehensible and applicable to our process, and provided extra help and explanations whenever possible.” Spence teaches courses on assessment, IEP development, instructional strategies and nonacademic supports. She is highly regarded by her colleagues throughout the GSOE and Cal Lutheran communities.
Mel Spence, EdD Assistant Professor, Learning and Teaching
Michael Cosenza received the Graduate School of Education’s award for Outstanding Achievement in Scholarship. He has been an active and consistent scholar for many years as a leading voice in a preservice teaching model known as "professional development schools." Since 2018, Cosenza has been a co-editor of one book and co-author of a second about the model; written seven articles and eight chapters; and given multiple national, state and local presentations. This work has directly affected the university because he has established a set of PDS schools that serve our teacher education candidates. As a result, he works closely with these partners and has often included K-12 faculty in his presentations. The PDS program at Cal Lutheran was recognized in 2021 as an exemplary partnership by the National Association for Professional Development Schools.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
Bruce Gillies, PsyD Assistant Professor Bruce Gillies received the School of Management Advisory Council’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. Since 2004, students have commended Gillies for delivering courses that are interesting and challenging, yet entertaining. One student wrote, “This is an example of a great professor who knows how to teach.” Another student remarked, “Thank you for making the virtual experience as personable as possible!” (referring to the difficult circumstances of teaching during the pandemic). His peers appreciate the versatility in his teaching – from undergraduate to graduate, traditional to adult learner, and in-person classes to online. He was one of the first professors to embrace online learning, and has helped the School of Management improve online course offerings and assisted many colleagues with their online teaching skills.
Jamshid Damooei, PhD Professor Jamshid Damooei received the School of Management Advisory Council’s Award for outstanding achievement in Research and Scholarship. Driven by a deep belief that society has an obligation to the most vulnerable populations, his focus on the unintended consequences of economic activity is impressive. Damooei’s research has uncovered socioeconomic truths that are difficult to accept – inequalities in access to education, health care or technology; disadvantages because of one’s economic status, language ability or skin color; and shocking data on childhood homelessness and differences in life expectancy. He researches data that is often overlooked for its inconvenient nature, but is most important as the basis for creating meaningful policies that improve conditions for the disadvantaged, impoverished and disenfranchised.

Valeria Makarova, PhD, MBA Assistant Professor Valeria Makarova received the School of Management Advisory Council’s Award for Excellence in Service. Makarova helped the School of Management start new courses; developed a complete track in the MBA program; brought a global initiative to Cal Lutheran; and, as the crown jewel of her achievements, was instrumental in the School of Management’s journey to achieve ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs) accreditation. She brought structure to what initially seemed like an insurmountable project and skillfully guided the accreditation process. She also needs to be commended for her vision and hard work in getting the school involved with PRME, Principles for Responsible Management Education. Her work on one of the school’s signature events, the PRiME Competition and the biennial PRME report, is exemplary.

When students are engaged in and across their differences, they become more fully themselves, more deeply human.”

The 225-acre main campus in Thousand Oaks is home to a dynamic liberal arts and sciences university with over 3,800 undergraduate and graduate students from 59 countries representing a diversity of faiths and cultures. Cal Lutheran has other locations in Westlake Village, Oxnard and Santa Maria as well as Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley.

Forty-one majors and 41 minors are offered in the traditional undergraduate program.
California Lutheran University has seen remarkable growth since its founding in 1959. The university keeps pace with the changing needs of students while remaining true to its mission: to educate leaders for a global society who are strong in character and judgment, confident in their identity and vocation, and committed to service and justice. Our Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) designation demonstrates the university's commitment to living out its mission within the changing context of student demographics.
Cal Lutheran is deeply involved in service to communities in Ventura County and beyond. Examples include affordable counseling services, the Autism and Communication Center, professional development for nonprofit leaders, economic forecasting, a program to teach K-12 subjects using drama techniques, a community swimming pool, and NPR and local news through KCLU Radio. The university’s thriving arts programs promote cultural awareness and provide intellectual and educational benefits to the region.
The Bachelor’s Degree for Professionals program offers degrees in eight majors. Graduate programs include doctorates in educational leadership, higher education leadership, clinical psychology and theology; and master’s degrees in education, psychology, business, economics, information technology, public policy and administration, and divinity.
