Cal Lutheran is home to students with diverse backgrounds, identities, ethnicities, talents, purposes, and more. Together, we are building a culturally inclusive campus, where everyone is valued, and everyone is welcome. Student Belonging initiatives promote engagement, social justice, and campus community. Help support these important efforts.
