As Director, Jennie supervises and coordinates all Chicago-based College programs and events. She directs the Lake Forest College In The Loop program, at the College's Chicago residential space, as well as ACTIVATE, the College's premiere summer internship program in the city.

Having grown up in the Chicagoland-area, Jennie is a strong supporter of experiential learning and is passionate about student engagement with the city.

Jennie's favorite thing to do in Chicago is visit Lost Larson, an Andersonville bakery and café specializing in Swedish pastries, where she can catch up with family and friends or get lost in a book.

Tanesha Fowler
Chicago Program Coordinator

As Chicago Program Coordinator, Tanisha lives and works on-site at the College's Chicago campus. She serves as the on-site administrator for Lake Forest College In The Loop and ACTIVATE, and is the primary liaison at The Flats. Tanesha brings with her a wealth of experience in Higher Education and Residence Life and is passionate about student engagement with the city and collaboration.

Tanesha's favorite part about the College's Chicago residential space is its location in a unique urban neighborhood. She enjoys exploring local restaurants and shops in downtown Chicago. Most weekends, you will find her shopping at the local Trader Joe's, her favorite grocery store in the Loop, or walking through Grant Park while listening to inspirational podcasts.
