Festival of Scholars Student Project Showcase - April 22-26 in Various Locations
The Festival of Scholars showcases projects by undergraduate and graduate students at Cal Lutheran. In addition to traditional research studies, the projects include creative work and the application of theory to real-life situations. Some are related to a particular class, while others were conceived as Senior Capstone projects or independent research. All these high-quality projects reflect months or even years of focused work with faculty mentors.
All week, student researchers will participate in poster sessions, oral presentations, panel discussions, teaching demonstrations, multimedia displays, art exhibitions and recitals.
Admission is free. For the full, updated schedule of events, visit CalLutheran.edu/research/festival-of-scholars.

Senior Art Exhibit 2024 Exhibition Walk-Through: "Common Differences" - April 26 at 2pm in William Rolland Gallery of Fine Art
Common Differences is the 2024 senior art exhibit featuring works by Cal Lutheran art majors. The 11 artists showcased in this exhibit delve into diverse backgrounds, mediums and forms of identity expression. While each artist’s approach is unique, all the works collectively reflect a shared desire to create art rooted in common human experiences.
The body of work presented by the graduating senior class is centered on the exploration of identity through motifs such as religion, growth, personal storytelling, culture and mental health. Each artist employs the medium that resonates most with their individual identity.
Bella Abbatoye from Oxnard, Chloë Lauren Zebrack from Los Angeles and Kenzie Mac Gregor from Agoura Hills specialize in painting. Richard Stokes is a ceramicist from Fresno. Seven mixed-media artists use various mediums such as drawings, paintings, ceramics, colored pencils, digital art and photography: Aaron Oliver from Lawndale, Bryan Bugni from Tulare, Colin Clasen from Corona, Dylan Reinhart from Ventura, Emily Harms from Oregon, Madison Lewis from Los Angeles and Lily Ball, a native Guatemalan from Moorpark.
We stand out on our own, but we stand together in one show.
Exhibition Walk-Through: Friday, April 26, 2-3 pm
