Technology, Good or Bad?

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jack Loessberg

I believe that the increase of technology within schools is negatively affecting the quality of learning. Computers are taking over our classrooms, and the process is slowly jeopardizing our children’s futures. Most of us can agree that, in school, the purpose of technological implementation should be to improve teaching and student learning. Technology is evolving at an astounding rate, and it has revolutionized the way we get our news, how we order goods and services,…

Lake Forest College’s Coalition Against Sexual Misconduct

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jack Loessberg

At the beginning of February, Lake Forest College’s Coalition Against Sexual Misconduct issued a campus-wide survey assessing the College’s climate regarding sexual misconduct.

Students living in South Campus residences, with the exception of those living in Moore Hall, have been drinking water from sinks because water fountains have been missing from residence halls since their construction.

Men’s and Women’s Handball slap their way to LFC’s 50th national title

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jack Loessberg

Before coming to Lake Forest College, if someone were to walk up to me and inform me that there was a national sport that involved slapping balls, I would probably have called them crazy. Little did I know that I had walked onto a campus that was famous for playing handball since 1968. Handball is likely the most misunderstood and least talked about sport on our campus. Yet, this year, 2016, marks the year that…

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jack Loessberg

Lake Forest College sees many athletes come through its doors, but only a few have made a name for themselves here. With their amazing players, Handball and Women’s Hockey teams are some notable examples. Now, though, we have a diver. Heath Ogawa ‘19 joined the diving team as soon as he got on campus with one goal in mind: make it to NCAA Nationals as a freshman. Only a week after spring break, Ogawa found…
