The Cal Lutheran Experience

Criminology and Criminal Justice

In Introduction to Criminal Justice, we had the opportunity to tour Ventura County Jail, which completely shaped my opinions on corrections. The ‘Procedural Law’ class with Professor Oakman helped me understand our laws and court systems. Professor Oakman gave us the opportunity to watch a case live and it put into context everything we learned in the classroom.

Physics

During my research, I created quantum simulations to observe the behavior and characteristics of the superconductive material strontium ruthenate. Something exciting I learned in the process was how this material behaves unconventionally compared to other known superconductors by exhibiting half-flux states.

Sports Management

I’m looking forward to taking the class Broadcast Sports Production as I am hoping to one day be a sports broadcaster. I became interested in the Sports Management program because of the class Sport Psychology. I already really enjoyed general psychology and liked how it linked with Sports Communication. Last semester was my first semester taking any classes for the program and despite the circumstances, the professors made it possible to still enjoy the class.
