Cal Lutheran is where open-minded undergraduate and graduate students grow as individuals, pursue their passions, and discover their purpose.

California Lutheran University's dedicated, accomplished faculty works with small classes of undergraduate and graduate students who are open-minded—about ideas, about people, and about faith—and are seeking to grow as individuals. Both in the classroom and outside of it, everyone at Cal Lutheran is committed to helping each student pursue their passions to discover their purpose, and follow that purpose to transform their community—and the world.

Cal Lutheran mourns the loss of our fourth president, Dr. Jerry H. Miller. An ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), he oversaw significant growth for the university from 1981 to 1992. Under his leadership, we moved from being California Lutheran College to California Lutheran University and joined the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC).

His decisions helped shape the university as we know it today. Many buildings built under his leadership remain important educational and gathering spaces for our community. We have much to thank him for as we honor his contributions, which have prepared decades of leaders for a global society and allowed us to continue fulfilling our mission as a Lutheran liberal arts institution. In 2012, he received the Christus Award, presented to those who have worked to deepen the partnership between Cal Lutheran and the ELCA.

Dr. Miller’s legacy at Cal Lutheran is evident across our campus. We have much to thank him for as we honor his contributions by continuing to fulfill our mission as a Lutheran liberal arts institution. We offer our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family and all who loved him.

Cal Lutheran mourns the passing of Dolores Huerta. A pioneer for labor rights and social justice, she dedicated her life to grassroots advocacy, reshaping history and opening doors for millions of underrepresented people.

President Nunes had the pleasure of meeting Dolores at the National TRIO Day Celebration in February, where she spoke to first-generation, economically vulnerable students and encouraged them to recognize their collective power and use education as a tool for liberation and equity.

Her spirit, courage and vision live on in every student stepping into their power to shape a more just world.

The economic contributions of California’s Latino population have grown 2.7 times faster than the contributions of the state’s non-Latinos, according to the 2026 U.S. Latino GDP Report from our Center for Economic Research and Forecasting (CERF) and UCLA’s Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture (CESLAC).

Matthew Fienup, an economist at CERF, and David Hayes-Bautista discuss the findings with Univision's primetime anchor, Gabriela Teissier, in this fireside chat.
