Celebrating Culture, Color & Community! As we close out October, Cal Lutheran is alive with cultural celebration; from LGBTQIA+ History Month to Halloween and the dazzling Colors of Carnevale event!

Whether you’re dressing up, lighting diyas for Diwali, or decorating a Carnevale mask, this season is all about honoring expression, light, and connection. So bring your brightest colors, biggest smiles, and boldest spirit, and let’s celebrate our global community together at Cal Lu!
