The Cal Lutheran Experience

Exercise Science

Exercise Science majors Michael Diaz, Britain Chaputa and Carlos Gonzalez investigate the impact high intensity exercise has on cerebral blood flow. With this groundbreaking research, they hope to contribute towards current studies on traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, so that they can be better assessed.

My internship with the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management prepared me greatly for my next steps after Cal Lutheran. Working side by side with a geologist, geophysicist, and petroleum engineer has given me insight into the industry I couldn't have previously imagined. This experience is helping me prepare for graduate school.

Alongside students in and out of the classroom I listen to big questions, encourage personal reflection, and help cultivate engagement with the broader community. It helps to wrestle with how your purpose is connected to and plays out in the world we share.
