Our Second Mile Giving ministry partner for the month of September is California Lutheran University (CLU). CLU is one of two ELCA Lutheran Universities on the West Coast. The home campus is in Thousand Oaks, and is complemented by satellite centers in Oxnard, Santa Maria, and Westlake Village, and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley.
The University now has 3,410 students (undergraduate: 2,277 and graduate: 1,033). Their students come from 40 states and 59 countries, and represent a diversity of faiths and cultures. CLU is led by a faculty of 182 full-time professors and 247 part-time professors.
At Cal Lutheran, the faculty and staff are called to challenge barriers and prepare students to lead meaningful lives, being guided by Lutheran educational values, specifically those associated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
Earlier this year, Dr. Lori Verlotta stepped down as President of CLU. Rev. Dr. John Nunes has been appointed as interim president for a two-year term. Upon coming into office, Rev. Dr. Nunes had this to say: “God is up to great things at Cal Lutheran, and I am glad to be able to share all of them with you as the university’s president”.
Please join us in celebrating and supporting the wonderful ministry of this university.
