German
Studying abroad in Berlin was incredible because I was able to witness first-hand the culture and language that I had been learning about for so many years. Some of the highlights were being able to study at a German university, travel around Europe, and live with a host family. I came back to Cal Lutheran with a better understanding of my place in the world, eager to continue my studies in German with a new perspective.

Mathematics
My first math class at Cal Lutheran, Calculus 3, is what motivated me to major in it. I really enjoyed the active learning method Dr. Gagliardo used in this class, guiding us through problems instead of lecturing with examples. All the faculty are passionate about math and genuinely care about each student’s success in their classes.

Political Science
There are so many opportunities to get involved in the Political Science department. I was able to attend the Republican Presidential Debate at the Reagan Library, where I volunteered in the spin room. It gave me the opportunity to have a firsthand look at a crucial part of a political campaign.
