Biology
Our students enjoy learning about, understanding and participating in the whole discovery process: how information in our textbooks and on the internet is generated. That process has to be holistic and we try to have students participate in the classroom, in discussion with peers and faculty, through research in the laboratory and out in the field, as well as learning what role in that process they will enjoy in their careers.

Assistant Professor
Computer Science
With my algorithm and software development work, I’m able to bring real-life experience in a very exciting technical field to the classroom. This engages and motivates my students, letting them know that if they work hard, there are fun and lucrative careers waiting them upon graduation.

Associate Professor
Spanish
My travel seminar Treasures of Peru, taught by Dr. Fiore and Dr. Claussen, was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The opportunity to learn the Peruvian dialect was an indispensable experience in helping me understand Spanish as a living language while refining what I had learned in the classroom at Cal Lutheran. I now have a more holistic view of what it means to be a Spanish learner and how my major intersects with culture and people, going beyond language.
