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.

Mathematics
Cal Lutheran gave me a lot of valuable opportunities to be involved within the Mathematics department, such as being a tutor, researcher, and departmental assistant. Influential courses that I took in this program, like Real Analysis, solidified my decision to pursue a PhD in Pure Mathematics.

Conversations with...
More than a dozen professional actors have come to Cal Lutheran's Preus-Brandt Forum for conversations with students in lively events moderated by instructor Markus Flanagan.
The advice and perspective I've gained from the events have been extremely helpful to my growth as a person and an actor.
