California Lutheran University’s Athletics Department along with the Counseling and Psychological Services office provide support, strategies and resources for student-athletes to maintain and care for their mental well-being.

Kecia Davis, director of health, wellness, and performance in Cal Lutheran’s Athletics Department, said the partnership with CAPS is another way for student-athletes to feel supported in all aspects of their athletic careers.

“You’re dealing with stressors. You’re trying to get good grades, you’re trying to get a degree, you’re trying to think about what you’re going to do with your career,” Davis said. “You’re trying to be sure you’re getting playing time as well as juggling your classwork, your family, your relationships, and everything else.”

Arts education funding has had a long history of being cut from schools or at least seen as less important than traditional curriculum.

In California in particular, “barely 1 in 5 public schools have a full-time arts and music program,” according to Edsource. In states like New York, full-time arts and music programs are in four out of five schools.

I believe there is a large misconception by many policymakers that arts education isn’t as valuable as subjects like Math and English to students in schools.

However, I think arts education, whether it be music, dance, theater, fine or graphic art, photography or filmmaking or any other kind of creative expression, is just as important to a student’s education as any other subject.

On Feb. 14, 2023, California Lutheran University’s student-led newspaper, The Echo, ran an opinion piece written by Sara Topliff on the importance of Narcan training on campus in the fight against the Fentanyl crisis.

Similarly, it spiked discourse about Cal Lutheran and their lack of advocacy on the Fentanyl crisis.

The Drug Enforcement Agency started a movement called the “One Pill Can Kill Campaign” which further brings awareness to the problem that Fentanyl-laced fake pills are one of the main ways the drug is killing young people.

Cal Lutheran Director of Safety David Hilke said in an email interview that the staff has had Narcan training on campus.

“Several strategic staff members participated in the initial training which was provided by ‘Give an Hour’ and Ventura County Public Health,” Hilke said.

The United Equity and Justice Collective is a student group put together by the Center of Cultural Engagement and Inclusion during the spring 2023 semester with a goal to further the efforts of diversity, equity and inclusion on California Lutheran University’s campus.
 “The United Equity and Justice Collective is a group of delegates who come together to approve projects brought to them by students to promote equity on the campus,” Ishaan Mirsha, delegate and representative of the Desi Club, said in an email interview. “Students come to us with a proposal, and we vote on whether to approve it and provide funding or not.”

Coordinator for Cultural Engagement and Inclusion Rachel Bennett serves as an advisor to the collective, and provides logistical support to ensure the UEJC runs efficiently.

When she is not working, senior Maddy Barbello finds time to foster dogs to support her love for animals.

Barbello works with two organizations whenever she fosters; Wags and Walks and Bark n’ Bitches. She said she started fostering shortly after the first COVID-19 spike passed, around 2021 and 2022.

“Well, I am a busy college student, like we all are, and I love dogs, but I can’t have my own because that would just be unfair for the dog because I’m never home. I’m always doing stuff,” Barbello said. “So I decided to foster to get that fix if you would, of having a dog and taking care of a dog, but not having to commit to it long-term.”

On Wednesday Nov. 15, the Center for Global Engagement and the United Students of the World Club hosted the World Fair, where 21 tables representing countries such as India, China, and Korea were set up with cultural décor, food and activities.

“This is a student-driven and student-centered event, so it gives the students an opportunity to showcase their culture,” Associate Provost for Global Engagement Christina Sanchez said.

The World Fair, which was part of International Education Week at California Lutheran University, commemorated the cultures represented by students on Cal Lutheran’s campus and prepared students to be part of a global society.

Sophomore and student worker at the CGE Avya Pandhi is the lead international peer mentor and helped plan the event. Pandhi worked at the table for India, where students wrote poems in almost 20 languages and organized dances.

California Lutheran University’s Center for Global Engagement participated in International Education Week from Nov. 13-17 by hosting a series of themed events, workshops, information sessions and more across campus.

IEW is an initiative created by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education in an effort to celebrate international education worldwide.

“I believe it’s important for students to be able to understand and have compassion, empathy and awareness of different perspectives,” Provost for the CGE Christina Sanchez said. “And we ask each student to be able to broaden their worldview and to be able to demonstrate that along whatever career path they pursue in the future.”

During IEW, Cal Lutheran encouraged students to celebrate and commemorate various cultures and traditions that are represented throughout the campus. Sanchez said all the events were open to everyone, and over 80 countries participated in IEW.

As the fall semester comes to a close and students prepare for Thanksgiving break, students across campus share what they are thankful for.

Pic 1: “I guess I’d say I’m grateful for all the people that I’ve met in my life. I wouldn’t be the same person I would be without all of the friends that I’ve made since elementary school even up to now,” Junior Jaden Wishengrad said.

Pic 2: “I am thankful for food, indoor plumbing, clean water, and friends and family,” Junior and Student Life Employee Noeloni Ramiscal said.

Pic 3: “I’m thankful for my family, for a place to live and just...a place to work too and go to school,” Junior Daniel Martinez said.

Pic 4: “Ah, let’s see, I’m thankful for a lot.I’m really really thankful for [my radio production] class and for the Echo, for interviewing me,” Sophomore Dia Tardino said.

Pic 5: “I’m grateful for all the people I love in my life. My girlfriend is my biggest support and my mom has always been there for me...and you know, having friends around that support you and are always there for you –that’s really important,” Cal Lutheran Student Zachary Lawrence said.

Regals soccer defender Avery West earned the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year award and earned a spot on the All-SCIAC First Team.

“Becoming SCIAC Defensive Player of the Year was something I have been working towards since I first began here at CLU,” West said. “This season I came in so determined. I knew what I was capable of achieving and had a new sense of confidence that stayed with me throughout the season.”

West said this accomplishment could not have been attainable without the rest of the Regals’ defensive line and the coaching staff, and “there is never a moment where I don’t feel safe and protected on the field.”

The Los Angeles Rams’ recent dominance over their divisional rival continued on Sunday, Nov. 19 as the Rams mounted a comeback to secure the season sweep over the Seattle Seahawks with a score of 17-16.

After three straight losses and several injuries, the Rams were able to hit the reset button thanks to last week’s bye.

“It’s good to be able to get a lot of these players back feeling good,” Rams Head Coach Sean McVay said in Friday’s pregame press conference. “I think it’s really been good for some guys that have played a really physical presence to have a week to get refreshed and rejuvenated.”

Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford started his 200th regular season game and his first full game in almost a month. He missed the Rams’ previous game with a thumb injury he sustained against the Dallas Cowboys.

On Thursday, Nov. 9 the Center for Global Engagement hosted the Global Café at Jack’s Corner, where attendees had the opportunity to answer trivia questions and eat different cookies from around the world.

The event is coordinated by Associate Director of Education Abroad, Azar Amir-Mokri, who, as part of the CGE, is responsible for international activities on campus, education abroad, international admissions, and international students and scholars. There are students from over 50 different countries at Cal Lutheran.

“The head of our center, Christina Sanchez, associate provost for Global Engagement, had this idea of having a place of encounter for the CLU community which would include faculty, staff, and students to get together and exchange ideas, and for students to get to know each other better and learn from each other’s cultural backgrounds,” Amir-Mokri said.

California Lutheran University’s Department of Languages and Culture, and Ethnic and Race Studies began hosting its second annual Colombia at CLU event on Tuesday, Nov. 7 with a discussion on education in Colombia and student activism. It was the first of a two-week series of events.

Colombia at CLU, which began in 2022, was created as a way to engage scholars with the Latin American and particularly Colombian community. The event is spearheaded by Loren Munoz, program director for the ethnic and race studies program and associate professor at Cal Lutheran, and is a combined initiative between Colombian scholars and Cal Lutheran faculty.

“As an HSI, I think it’s important to bring a diversity of Latine communities because oftentimes we are seeing a homogenous, like we are all the same and we’re not. We’re incredibly different,” Munoz said.

Climate change is a real issue that requires immediate action, and raising awareness is not enough. We must take responsibility for our actions and act now to better the environment and keep the earth.

“I’m not a huge fan of substituting the term climate change for global warming, because climate change means exactly what it says, it means climate changing,” Associate Professor and Chair of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at California Lutheran University Robert Dull said.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, climate change refers to the alterations of the climate to either cooler or warmer temperatures, while global warming is the term referring to the rise in temperatures of the planet.

The California Lutheran University men’s basketball team began its 2023-24 season with a 71-63 win against the Illinois North Central College Cardinals.

“It was far from a picture-perfect game in any way, shape, or form, but good teams win when they don’t play their best and we didn’t play our best tonight so it’s good to get a win,” Head Men’s Basketball Coach Russell White said. “We’re just gonna keep trying to get better.”

The Cardinals got off on the front foot and were up by 13 points with nine minutes left to play in the first half. However, the Kingsmen regained control of the game and ended the first half with a 39-34 lead.

Coffee from Matt’s Coffee Express, pastries and free pumpkins were given out to all attendees of California Lutheran University’s Pumpkins N’ Brew event on Friday, Nov. 10 in Kingsmen Park. The event was part of the Associated Students of California Lutheran University Programs Board popup events.

“It was meant for students to relax and enjoy a casual evening with friends, light food and activities while enjoying a movie; The Nightmare Before Christmas,” ASCLU Programs Board Director Randy Martinez said. “Hence, it takes place during the time after Halloween and before Christmas holiday festivities.”

Pumpkins N’ Brew was a collaboration between the ASCLUG Programs Board and the Graduate and Professionals Student Council, and Martinez said it was neither traditional nor annual, which meant the ASCLUG committee had to work harder to manage their time.

On Thursday, Nov. 9 California Lutheran University’s Entrepreneurship Club hosted its semi-annual Entrepreneurship Flea Market, which welcomed students and alumni to market their products to the campus community.

Handmade jewelry, secondhand and upcycled clothing and baked goods were among the businesses on display. Patrons and vendors were welcome to participate in several raffles and enjoy coffee and tacos from local food truck vendors Makenna’s Koffee Company and Famous Taco Bar.

Jaida Burgon, president of Cal Lutheran’s Entrepreneurship Club, said the event has grown over the years that the club has been active.

“Our very first flea market was not even close to as successful as it is now,” Burgon said. “From there, I kind of wanted to build because I really did see the potential in it.”

The California Lutheran University men’s water polo team fell with a score of 7-9 against the University of La Verne on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in the team’s penultimate game of the season. This marked the team’s first loss to La Verne since 2018, and brought the Kingsmen’s Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record to 4-7.

“I think our guys fought hard,” Head Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Coach John Jacobson said. “They put forth a really good effort and they got a couple goals at the end there to bring that game within two. We just missed a couple of opportunities at the end there and just couldn’t close it out.”

La Verne scored six goals in the first two quarters, while Cal Lutheran scored two. Sophomore 2-meter defender Jack Bradbury picked up the Kingsmen’s momentum with a goal in the third quarter, as it was followed by three more goals from senior 2-meter defender Tommy Riffle, sophomore attacker Brody Swarm, and senior utility player Zane Hermann, respectively.
