Exercise Science
The Exercise Science department has prepared me for my future career by giving me many hands-on experiences with equipment in the field. Cal Lutheran has exceptional labs that allow us to collect a lot of data! I also have had the opportunity to complete directed research, which helped me to better understand and conduct research.

Political Science
The Political Science department gave me a plentitude of opportunities to expand my knowledge within this field. I was able to study politics at Oxford University, immerse myself into Cuban culture and government, research droughts as a McNair scholar, and be a civil servant to minority groups through the Gallegly fellowship.

Spanish
My travel seminar Treasures of Peru, taught by Dr. Fiore and Dr. Claussen, was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The opportunity to learn the Peruvian dialect was an indispensable experience in helping me understand Spanish as a living language while refining what I had learned in the classroom at Cal Lutheran. I now have a more holistic view of what it means to be a Spanish learner and how my major intersects with culture and people, going beyond language.
