Class of 2005 to celebrate their 5-Year Reunion

On October 7-9, 2010, the class of 2005 will be among the classes celebrating milestone Reunion years. It's very hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since our class graduated! Classmates will be traveling in from all over the country to revisit the picturesque Lake Forest campus, reunite with friends, and remember the wonderful times we had as LFC students. Homecoming and Reunion Weekend is indisputably one of the times of the highest energy and festivity at Lake Forest, and we are thrilled to reconnect with our class and other LFC alumni.

Out of State Alumni Can and Do Make a Difference
By Alina Allen
I’m often contacted by alumni living out of state who are wondering how they can give back to the College.  Although some programs do require volunteers to travel to campus, there are opportunities that do not.  Technology coupled with a diverse group of students from various states and countries has allowed us to expand the definition of “alumni volunteer” to include individuals living all over the world who can -and do - significantly contribute to students’ career development.
