HOMECOMING REGENTS:

Each fall, the Lake Forest College student body selects two students to be crowned as the Homecoming Regents, an honor that is presented during the Homecoming Pep Rally.

We invite all students to submit nominations for the 2023 Homecoming Court   by completing this form. Nominations will be accepted until September 28. The six students with the most nominations will advance to a campus-wide election for the two Homecoming Regent positions. The election will be held September 29 thru October 4, and the two Homecoming Regents will be announced at the Pep Rally.
