Update Regarding Human Resources
|
Dear Cal Lutheran Community, After more than 11 years at California Lutheran University, Patricia Parham is resigning her position as associate vice president of Human Resources. Patricia has been a highly valuable member of our team for over a decade, and I thank her for the guidance she has provided to so many of us here. As we say farewell to Patricia, we welcome a new colleague to the campus, Eduardo Salaz. He will assume the senior HR officer (SHRO) role on a temporary basis, starting on Feb. 20. Eduardo, a member of the Higher Education Registry, was interviewed over the last few weeks by cabinet, members of the Human Resource staff, a few members of the Mission and Identity team, and our chief diversity officer. All of them recommended him for this role, and I accepted their recommendation. Eduardo comes to Cal Lutheran having enjoyed a long and successful career in human resources and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging training. He began this work in 1989, at Apple, Inc. as a senior human resources manager. He moved on to senior roles as global chief diversity officer at Inuit and as vice president and chief human resources officer at St. Mary’s College of California in Moraga, CA. Since 2018, he has served as the president of ELS Consulting in Lincoln, CA. Please join me in wishing Patricia all the best and in welcoming Eduardo to our campus. |

- Spotlight on HSI Week / Enfoque en la Semana de las HSI
September 12, 2024With what I hope to be the hottest days of the academic year behind us — temperature wise — I am excited to share that this week California Lutheran University is celebrating National Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Week. Only 600 institutions in the United States have the honor of engaging in such festivities, and we are proud to be among them.
Con la esperanza de que ya hayamos dejado atrás los días más calurosos del año académico — en cuanto a temperatura — me emociona compartir que esta semana, la Universidad Luterana de California está celebrando la Semana Nacional de las Instituciones al Servicio de los Hispanos (HSI). Solo 600 instituciones en los Estados Unidos tienen el honor de participar en estas festividades, y nos enorgullece ser una de ellas.
- Grateful for You
June 13, 2024To say I feel welcomed into this community would be the understatement of my working life. Since my first official day on the job, I have had the privilege of meeting many of you. You have welcomed me with open arms at local church services, a synod assembly, during impromptu conversations along "the spine," and at The Habit for lunch and Starbucks for coffee.
