Gates Center for Leadership & Personal Growth

We help students experience “the personal growth that accompanies the quest for excellence” in all aspects of life at Lake Forest College and beyond.

Thanks to a generous gift from the family of John and Christine Gates, the Gates Center for Leadership and Personal Growth advances key learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom that enhance the liberal arts education at Lake Forest College. The driving principle for the Gates Center is the belief that everyone has leadership qualities and should be given a chance to develop them. It

is also the belief of the Gates Center that leadership training contributes additional dimensions to the education of every Lake Forest College student. We help students experience “the personal growth that accompanies the quest for excellence” in all aspects of life, as affirmed in the College’s Mission Statement. These programs will expose students to valuable skill-sets and Gates Center principles that will help them not only at Lake Forest College, but also in their lives beyond college.

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Jill M. Baren will join the Forester community as the College's first woman president. "I am excited about the unique brand that Lake Forest College has created with its marriage of a strong liberal arts tradition with exceptional career preparation and pragmatism," Baren shared.

Jill, a medical doctor, educator, and researcher, brings nearly 30 years of academic medicine and higher-education administrative experience as well as a deep appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts to the presidency.
