    We are creating a new kind of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center at Cal Lutheran. We are housed in a newly renovated facility 10 miles from the main CLU campus, containing modern classrooms and a full service co-work space, Hub101.

We are proud to carry Steve Dorfman's name and together are building a legacy in the Conejo Valley and Ventura County.
