Networking
Helping students build and use a network is one of the things that sets Lake Forest College apart.
Lake Forest College boasts a strong community of alumni who give back to the College in tangible ways by helping students and recent grads. And it’s not just alumni, it’s professors, it’s parents of alumni, parents of current students, and friends of the College such as trustees and others.
