🏙️ Chicago Day was one for the books!
Our newest Foresters spent Wednesday this week exploring the city as part of their First-Year Immersion experience—and one of the highlights was sharing lunch with Lake Forest College alumni across Chicago!
From hearing career stories and learning about different industries to simply connecting over a meal, these moments give our first-year students a chance to see the Forester community in action and begin building relationships that can last well beyond their first year.
A huge THANK YOU to the incredible alumni who opened their doors at DocuSign, The Berghoff, CME Group, Environmental Design Group, The Civic Federation, The Art Institute of Chicago, Eataly, Echo Global Logistics, Adams Street, Hush Blackwell, Hall Prangle LLC, and so many more. We are so grateful to the alumni who shared their time and stories, and welcomed our newest Foresters to both the Lake Forest College community and the city of Chicago. 🏙️🌲
We truly couldn’t make experiences like this happen without you. Go Foresters!! 🙏
