Convocators
Guidance, 80-Strong
The 80-person Convocation, which elects the University's Board of Regents, represents the corporation of California Lutheran University. The Convocation is made up of members of the five Synods of Region II of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, faculty, students, the University president and members-at-large. The Convocators serve as ambassadors, counselors, recruiters and development support for the University throughout a broad geographic area on the Pacific Coast and in the Southwestern region of the United States.
