This year’s ceremony, held February 3 in Calvin Durand Hall, marked the 11th anniversary of the signing of the Lake Forest College Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa charter by its founding members.

ODK recognizes and encourages superior leadership and exemplary character while fostering collaboration through its five pillars of leadership: academics, athletics, service, communications, and the arts. Lake Forest College is proud to be one of 300 Omicron Delta Kappa circles nationwide.

The ceremony opened with a welcome from Jéssica Caal Chamam ’25, vice president of the Lake Forest College Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. Omar Kousa ’26, Circle president, delivered the invocation and closing remarks, while College Board Trustee Bob Crawford provided opening remarks. Margaret Fields ’26, Membership Selection and Initiation Chair, gave the benediction. New initiates received the Laurel Crown Circle, the society’s symbol of achievement, upon their induction.
