The sunrise over Lake Michigan.

The cicadas are here. This year’s cicada emergence is of particular interest because it is the first time in 221 years that two specific broods, Brood XIX composed of four species that appear every 13 years in the Southeast, and Brood XIII, which is composed of three species that appear every 17 years in northern Illinois.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

This goose is adding some real drama to the journey between classes!

Studio art major Kim Casas ‘24 hosted an independent exhibition in Deerpath Gallery, which is on display through tomorrow. With “Prisma Refugio: Tales of Identity,” Casas invites visitors on a journey of self-acceptance. “This project serves as my sanctuary, a testament to my quest for autenticity and belonging. Through the intricate tapestry of mediums and narratives, I strive to create a safe haven for those who may not yet find solace in their worlds. By opening the doors to my comfort, l extend an invitation for others to live within the warmth of shared experience and understanding. Together, let us navigate the spectrum of identity, embracing the beauty of our differences and the strength found in community.”

Music major Zoe Draper ‘26 went on tour with the Lake Forest College concert band and orchestra to Memphis, TN. There they performed at Mt. Pisgah Middle School and Germantown High School to both learn through music and share music with others while taking in the sights.

Chicago has such a rich theater scene! 🥰

Symposium is on April 9! It’s more than a day off. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about what your peers are studying and support your friends who are presenting. Join us for snacks, knowledge, performances, and a celebration of everything Foresters are researching or working on this year!

At last week's Career-A-Palooza, students joined alumni, the CAC team, and other professionals to learn expert tips and build real skills they can use whether they're just getting started applying for a job or internship or are figuring out what to do after graduation.
