Diane Rodriguez-Kiino, Lydia Chung ’18 M.S. and Brook Masters ’18 M.S. were accepted to present their first research proposal, “Academic Mindset Development: A Framework for Underrepresented Student Success” at the American Evaluation Association conference in Cleveland Ohio this November.

“In conjunction with its Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Title III ALLIES in STEM grant, California Lutheran University developed a four to five-point Likert scale student engagement survey anchored in agreeability, satisfaction, and frequency to measure: (1) transfer of academic mindset development domains, (2) STEM commitment and persistence, (3) STEM coursework interest, (4) parental engagement, and (5) academic adjustment. A secondary goal of the survey was to examine the extent to which students perceive parental engagement as supportive to their pursuit in STEM. Finally, the survey was designed to create benchmarks for subsequent implementation of the instrument throughout the five-year grant cycle. This research examines the effect of supportive practices on the development of students’ academic mindset in three areas: capability, connection, and inspiration. The results may inform which high-impact practices result in the success of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities in the STEM fields of higher education.”
The National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program has awarded Cal Lutheran up to $1.2 million over five years for a project to encourage STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors and STEM professionals to pursue careers in K-12 teaching, especially in high-need school districts.

As the result of a rare interdisciplinary collaboration between undergraduate and graduate programs, California Lutheran University has become one of the first institutions in California where undergraduate students can begin earning their bilingual teaching authorization through coursework.
One year after the pandemic forced California Lutheran University to hold commencement virtually, more than 300 members of the Class of 2020 will return to celebrate their achievements at an in-person ceremony just for them.
Seven California Lutheran University faculty members with a combined total of more than 160 years of service are retiring with emeritus status. 
The projects presented next week at California Lutheran University’s 15th Annual Festival of Scholars will reflect the historic events of the past year — from research conducted and films shot in students’ homes during pandemic stay-at-home orders to studies of the impact of distance learning and the optimal amount of lying during a political campaign.
California Lutheran University will honor 2020 and 2021 graduates at drive-in, in-person ceremonies attended by their classmates and families at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
The pandemic and the temporary move to virtual classes have had no impact on overall interest in California Lutheran University’s graduate programs, with enrollment remaining the same as last year at about 1,225 students at the start of the fall term.
