What's Happening

“The faculty at Lake Forest are very approachable. Whenever you want to visit, they’re always willing to help. Classes were so small that you got to know your professors.”

Now, Jordan is a successful tax associate.
“It meant the world to have a faculty member who not only cares about the paper you turned in, but about what’s happening in your life.”

Elise networked her way to success!
“I struggled in classes like statistics but at the end of the day, I learned from that class. Faculty pushed me regardless of whether I liked it or not.”

Ezra is ready to recruit you!
“Working for Professor Tuttle was great. She had a vision for the research and how to incorporate students into it. Lake Forest College laid the groundwork for letting you develop relationships with faculty, and encourages you to continue them.”

Carolyn capitalized on her faculty relationships.
“The relationships that you make with professors, who come to know you as a person, help immensely with letters of recommendation. At several interviews, I was asked, ‘Why do you think your letters are so amazing? These are so different than what we see.’ It’s because the professors here have something to write about and know you.”

Sydni checks in from her lab at Northwestern University.
“My perspective and willingness to travel came from the people I met at Lake Forest.”

Joshua found opportunity at Lake Forest College.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it hadn’t been for Professor Adelson and all the guidance and support he gave me along the way.”

Push your potential to the max! Alex did.
