Cal Lutheran Cares Day 2026

Rooted in the mission of California Lutheran University to educate leaders for a global society, strong in character, confident in identity, and committed to service and justice; Residence Life plays a vital role in shaping the student experience. Our team of staff and students strive to create spaces and communities where students grow, connect, and discover their potential; and just maybe provide a space “Where Dreams Take Flight."

At CLU, living on campus offers students meaningful opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. Through specialized housing like The University Themed Houses and Living-Learning Communities, including the Global Leaders Community, the STEM Community, and the University Honors Program, students engage with peers who share their passions and academic interests. These intentional communities strengthen belonging, encourage collaboration with faculty and staff, and support students as they develop the skills and confidence needed to lead and serve.

Your support of the Student Residential Experience helps us expand student-centered programming, strengthen service-learning initiatives, and enhance the living environments where students build lasting friendships and lifelong skills. Together, we are creating spaces where excellence thrives, honoring the university’s heritage while empowering the next generation of leaders to soar.

Thank you for helping residential students take flight!
