Multimedia
The Multimedia department offers a variety of unique courses, like Maxon Cinema 4D and Typography, that help us build skills in a wide range of fields such as film, graphic design, and animation. This grants me more opportunities to find a job. In addition, Cal Lutheran’s small class sizes ensure that I get all the help and feedback I need from my professors to succeed.

Physics
My research was in the area of neutrino physics, in association with the MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. I was interested in coming up with a function to describe the optical response of a photomultiplier tube while submerged in liquid argon. This function would aid in reducing simulation time for MicroBooNE. From this project, I learned how to design and construct a small scale experiment, collect and analyze data, and produce a talk and scientific paper on my findings.

Political Science
Understanding how knowledge is produced is a critical element of democratic citizenship. Working with students on research projects gives them the tools to be effective decision makers that can know the difference between good and bad truth claims.
