The Cal Lutheran Experience

Physics

Physics is the primordial science that tries to understand and model the "why?", "how?" and "when?" of our universe. As a curious person, this everlasting quest for answers drew me to physics. At Cal Lutheran, the physics department gave me the instruction and opportunities to become a great experimentalist through numerous hands-on experiences.

My favorite courses this semester are Physio Psychology and Human Cognition. These are part of my Psychology major. I love the teacher-student interaction that I get from both my majors. Professors form a mentor-like relationship with their students and that is what I like.

Understanding the Role of Culture

A visit to a Thai Buddhist temple as part of the Immigration in a Global Age course helped students to understand how local Thai culture thrives and connects with the society around it.

I learned about many of the struggles Thai immigrants are faced with as well as how strong they maintain their ethnic identities through their annual Thai festival, which I also attended. It was a beautiful experience that I will never forget.
