Spotlight

 

Faculty Equity Advocates Training - With over a dozen faculty searches being conducted in academic year 2020-21, Academic Affairs is eager to host the next training for Faculty Equity Advocates. As a refresher, at least one Equity Advocate will serve on each search team, collaborating with (and leading) colleagues to uphold an equity-minded checklist, or a set of action items to improve equitable hiring practices at Cal Lutheran. In preparation, Academic Affairs would like to gauge your interest and availability. If you are interested in attending Equity Advocate training this summer 2020, please contact Diane Rodriguez-Kiino at dcrodrig@callutheran.edu by Mon., June 22.

Please contact Elizabeth Wold, ewold@callutheran.edu for registration.
     
  • International Student Resources - The Cal Lutheran international student community received direct communication from the Office of International Students and Scholars that, if facing financial crisis associated with the COVID-19 crisis, international students should outreach to the OISS at international@callutheran.edu. While not eligible for the government’s COVID-19 student relief funds, through the Cal Lutheran CARES DAY initiative, some limited funds have been identified to support the international students who are facing economic hardship. If you are engaging with international students, please remind them to always read the OISS Weekly Update for important details about support initiatives and direct them to contact OISS at international@callutheran.edu with questions. Additionally, remind them that Campus Ministry offers support through the Community Cupboard which is still providing food resources during the summer.
