The Cal Lutheran Experience

Clay is a living material and has such human qualities. Working with clay, students become more empathic. They develop a sense of care because they have to carry their vessel from a clumsy lump of clay into something that’s of use, which has worth and meaning. That’s what pottery is.

I take my students on geology field trips—from Wildwood Park and Tarantula Hills near campus, to Vasquez Rocks, the Mojave Desert, Owens Valley and Death Valley. Closer to Los Angeles, my Oceans class heads to the Malibu coast. In the field, students can put into context the rocks, minerals and physical earth processes they are learning about in lecture and lab.

Global studies has enabled me to look at the interrelations of societies from an objective point of view. As a freshman, I decided I wanted my college career to truly be a “global study” immersion. I studied abroad for three semesters in Costa Rica, Chile, Thailand, and participated on a travel seminar to Cuba. Being able to study and live the effects of globalization in both western and eastern cultures has inspired me to further my understanding of this phenomenon.
