COVID-19 Update
Lake Forest College has lifted the masking mandate in indoor spaces across campus and has moved to a mask-optional policy. These changes are in line with the CDC guidance, including the guidance for institutions of higher education, and the Lake County Health Department. Masks are highly encouraged and may be required in certain situations. Please be prepared to put on a mask if requested by a Lake Forest College faculty or staff member while you are on campus. You can find the most up-to-date information at lakeforest.edu/coronavirus.
