Our Forester Future 2023–2028 will guide how Lake Forest College moves into the future.
Our Forester Future 2023–2028 amplifies points of distinction and emphasizes operational excellence and efficiency in order to proactively and strategically rise above the headwinds and demographic trends to position Lake Forest College for sustained success and do so in a way that balances our capital infrastructure needs with our human resources needs.
Lake Forest College is poised for future success thanks to a strong foundation built over many decades. The development of the Forester Future is currently underway and has utilized the data provided by planning groups that operated during the 2021-2022 academic year. Data reports focused on five important areas: Academics, Enrollment, Strategic Partnerships, Residential Life, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
