Dear Foresters,

The Intercultural Advisory Group (IAG) invites all members of the campus community to attend our next Community Caucus:

• Tuesday, April 18, 12-1 p.m. in McCormick. This caucus will have representative from the Career Advancement Center as special guests, to talk about how they integrate questions of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

If you have concerns you would like to share anonymously, or prefer to share your concerns by email rather than in person, please email IAG co-chairs Nevin Heard or Ben Zeller, or another IAG member if you prefer. You can also email the entire IAG at iag@lakeforest.edu.

IAG is appointed by the President of Lake Forest College to engage with and respond to matters relating to cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, gender/sexuality identity, and other forms of identity. We aim to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus. IAG is not a decision-making body, but instead invites feedback from the campus community on how we can do better, which we then communicate to the President and other important campus decision-makers. Our Community Caucuses are a space to address these concerns publicly.

Hello Foresters,

Each spring, Lake Forest College recognizes the accomplishments of students, registered student organizations, and the faculty and staff who support them, through our Leadership Awards. These honorees are nominated by the campus community and selected by committees comprised of faculty, staff, and students.

In an effort to be more inclusive of student organization events that are held later in the spring semester, we have two timelines for award nominations. The first timeline is for awards presented to individual members of the Forester community, and the second timeline is for awards presented to student organizations.

Nominations are now open for individual leadership awards on the Honors and Awards webpage. We invite you to click on each of the awards to see their descriptions and submit nominations for students, faculty and staff who have made positive contributions to the Forester community. Self-nominations are also accepted and encouraged. The following individual awards are now open and accepting nominations until March 30th:

• The Student Leader of the Year Award
• The Student Organization President of the Year
• The Rising Star Award
• The Community Builder Award
