There is little to no information regarding California Lutheran University’s stance on its environmental impact. Only information on the university’s Environmental Science and Studies degrees as well as an article about sustainability projects from over a decade ago can be found online. The Echo was also able to find a 2009 Cal Lutheran Sustainability Action Plan, yet no updates or statements have followed since the release of it.

In comparison to Cal Lutheran, both Pepperdine University and Chapman University, two local private institutions, have Offices of Sustainability on their campus - according to their respective websites.

According to the Academic Affairs page on Cal Lutheran’s website, there is a sustainability committee at the university. Associate Professor and Chair of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department Robert Dull said the sustainability committee has not met since before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the academic school year in early 2020.

Last Wednesday, Monique “Ms. Mo” Nunes, University President John Nunes’ wife, invited students to their home for a fall-themed meet-and-greet event.

“It’s a wonderful event to hang out with people from around the campus as well as our new president and Ms. Mo,” senior Rylli Matter said. “It was just one of those things where I knew I would feel welcomed and have so much fun.”

Junior Elizabeth Marquez said that events like these are important because they provide the opportunity to connect with one another and meet new people.

California Lutheran University’s Theatre and Dance Department performed “No Exit,” a student-directed play by senior Riley Herbert. The play features three students trying to figure out why they are brought together in Hell.

The show ran from Thursday, Oct. 17 to Sunday, Oct. 20. The original play was written by French playwright Jean-Paul Sartre in 1944. Herbert said the inspiration for choosing this play was based on her work in the Cal Lutheran’s Political Science Department.

Herbert said she is currently doing an honors thesis on restorative justice, focusing largely on rehabilitation and figuring out why people commit crimes.

California Lutheran University’s Kingsmen football team faced the Redlands Bulldogs in the annual Smudge Pot game on Saturday, Oct. 19 at William Rolland Stadium. The Kingsmen lost to the Bulldogs 17-15, two points short of beating the team for the first time since 2012.

This matchup also took place during Homecoming Weekend and senior wide receiver Cade Cadam said that the energy could be felt coming from the crowd.

“Awesome, awesome atmosphere, this is my second Smudge Pot game. Last year was at Redlands and so I never got to experience here at Cal Lutheran,” Cadam said. “It was an awesome turnout, just one play, we just didn’t get it done today.”

California Lutheran University’s women’s soccer team tied with the University of California Santa Cruz on the Regals’ Senior Day on Sunday.

“Our goals for the season, despite today’s tie, is just to continue to grow our chemistry as a team. Every team is going to come at us with a lot of intensity cause they wanna knock down the champs but I think for us it’s just, continuing to stay stuck in and continuing to get better every half of every game, and getting some more goals and times to celebrate with our team,” senior defender Avery West said.

Before the match, the Regals took time to honor and celebrate the seniors on the team.

Last Wednesday, California Lutheran University Career Services held its annual Graduate School Fair, inviting students to learn more about various graduate school programs. According to the Cal Lutheran website, students who attended the fair could learn about graduate programs, admission processes, and how to stand out in applications.

Senior Riley Herbert said the importance of events like the Grad Fair is the opportunity that they provide to meet people face-to-face.

“I think with a lot of graduate programs there are a lot of webinars and a lot of online events which are really great, but it’s just kind of a strain,” Herbert said. “It’s really nice to get to meet people in person and have some of your fears about applying to grad school alleviated, and just really get to talk with them and ask them your actual questions.”

California Lutheran University’s Women’s Volleyball team swept the Whittier Poets this past Friday in the Regals’ first Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match of the season.

Before the match, Head Coach Kellee Roesel and Assistant Coach Alec Bennett established a game plan of how the Regals could win based on past matches with the Poets.

“Coming into today we were really thinking about containing their outside hitters,” Bennett said. “Whoever they were gonna throw in on that outside position, and then making their bigger players move quick, so we were trying to establish pretty quick offense to catch them off guard.”

Each fall semester, a select number of California Lutheran University students embark on the Oxford Study Abroad program. The first half is spent in Oxford and the second half is spent in London.

Compared to the other study abroad programs offered at Cal Lutheran, the application process for the program is considered “very competitive,” per the OEA’s website. Students are to apply one year in advance and fill out the Office of Education Abroad’s questions section.

This year, only eight students were accepted to the Oxford program. Dru Pagliassotti, a professor in the Communication Department, is the faculty leader for the current program.

California Lutheran University’s India Club and the Center of Global Engagement celebrated their annual Holi Celebration on March 26 at Kingsmen Park as part of the International Students and Scholars series.

Holi originates from India and is a festival to rejoice and celebrate the arrival of spring.
Attendees threw colored dust explosions at each other, danced to Hindi music, tie-dyed, and ate traditional Indian cuisine.

“Most of us are international students, we’re in a country where we don’t know a lot of people. I hope that they have found a family away from home, a home away from home. I hope they felt that love today that they do at home. I hope they feel maybe a percentage of the happiness that they feel at home when they play this or these games are celebrated,” India Club President Avya Pandhi said.

After several weather delays, the turf field within California Lutheran University’s William Rolland Stadium is now scheduled to be completed on April 19, 2024 as opposed to its anticipated completion date of Jan. 15, 2024.

William Rolland Stadium is Cal Lutheran’s two-story stadium that consists of 2,000 seats, and an artificial turf field that has been utilized for outdoor sports for the past 12 years.

FieldTurf, the company performing the construction on the turf field, said it is expected that turf fields should be replaced every 8-10 years to ensure proper performance and safety.

On Friday, March 22 California Lutheran University Faculty received an email announcing the upcoming launch of a textbook accessibility program known as BookPass.

The program does not launch until the fall 2024 semester, however, there is now information available for both faculty and students of Cal Lutheran located online.

In the email, the program’s aim is said to increase textbook affordability and convenience factors for students. Instead of students trying to find access to their textbooks and navigate financial preparation for purchasing or renting, they will pay a flat $210 fee and automatically receive access to the books they need. The BookPass webpage on Cal Lutheran’s website claims this will save students upwards of thirty to fifty percent on textbook costs.

The Disability Advocacy Student Association, a new club at California Lutheran University, is currently in the process of getting approved. The association aims to welcome and cultivate a space for students with disabilities and disability allies.

Emma Blanck, junior and DASA president, said DASA is a space where students with disabilities and allies can make a community and build connections on campus.

“Even if it’s something that you’ve never been interested in before and know anything about, I would really encourage [students] to come and see,” Blanck said. “I think a lot of people have an image in their mind of what disability looks like, but it’s really broad and there’s a huge spectrum and it can present itself in so many different ways.”
