DEIJ Toolbox
Access a robust collection of DEIJ tools, including peer-reviewed articles, key organizations, and more.
One of the great assets of a liberal arts college is to have easy access to so many different expertise. Learning about faculty's initiatives at Cal Lutheran (research or teaching wise) is not only inspiring but also a way of understanding how we can make use of the resources and offices at CLU.
