Want to really get involved on campus? Run for a position in Student Government, the representative voice of the student body.

Student Government is the link between students and the administration at Lake Forest College. Together, we represent student voices and are committed to creating the best college experience possible.

During the 2023-2024 academic year, Student Government passed numerous pieces of legislation across campus. Nollen Café was created as a new food eatery on South Campus to foster community and provide students with ample access to dining options. Moreover, new furniture was placed in both Mohr Student Center and the Donnelley and Lee Library to enhance communal student spaces. Additionally, the Arrive Senator position was created to represent students living in the Arrive Apartments.
