The Cal Lutheran Experience

Ideas have a life. When the life of ideas connects to the individual lives and experiences of students, I remember that ideas aren’t just abstractions. To remember that is to remember why I got into this business in the first place.

Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in the IES program are “First and Second Language Acquisition”, “Creative Drama for Child/Youth”, and “Foundations of Education”. These courses have prepared me to create an extraordinary classroom environment that promotes student success through memorable and fun ways of learning.

Conversations with...

More than a dozen professional actors have come to Cal Lutheran's Preus-Brandt Forum for conversations with students in lively events moderated by instructor Markus Flanagan.

The advice and perspective I've gained from the events have been extremely helpful to my growth as a person and an actor.
