Campus Life

Combining traditional student affairs responsibilities with academic concerns and athletics, Campus Life is an important resource for all Lake Forest College students.

Campus Life includes the Vice-President for Campus Life, the Dean of Students office, Athletics, Community Standards, the Health and Wellness Center (Counseling Services and Health Services), Intercultural Relations, Gates Center for Leadership and Personal Growth, Residence Life, Mail Services, and Public Safety.

Under the leadership of Dr. Whipple, Interim Vice President for Campus Life, Campus Lile also helps to familiarize students with the academic support services at the College and administers the community standards and student conduct system. We’re a good place to come with questions when you don’t know who to ask. If we don’t have the answers, we generally know who does.

Case Management

Mission Statement

Case management promotes student success and retention, reduces risk, and enhances overall community well-being and safety by identifying needs, removing barriers, leveraging resources, and fostering student self-efficacy.

What is the role of a Case Manager?

Case Managers provide goal-oriented and strengths-based assessment, intervention, and coordination of services to students experiencing physical, emotional, academic, and/or psychological difficulties. Case managers are not licensed counselors, and do not directly provide therapy or counseling services, do not provide medical care or diagnoses, or act as primary decision makers.

Who are the Case Managers?

Shelby Birnbaum
Maja Gavrilovic

Vision

Student Affairs at Lake Forest College is committed to supporting and providing an exceptional, transformative learning experience for students. We subscribe to an integrated and inclusive perspective, affirming that what students learn outside the classroom is equally important as that which they learn inside the classroom.

Mission

Student Affairs supports the academic mission of the College and fosters a safe, secure and transformative co-curricular experience wherein students develop holistically. In order to achieve our vision, we focus on:

  • creating opportunities for students to reflect upon what they’ve learned and experienced;
  • teaching students skills that are necessary for them to succeed in their post-college lives;
  • educating the whole student;
  • providing opportunities for students to engage with each other and the College;
  • encouraging students to engage in intercultural interactions and dialogue;
  • preparing our students to become positive, contributing members of their communities; and
  • empowering our students to become healthy, responsible, ethical people.
