No matter where you are now or what you're doing, you'll always be welcome in the Forest and part of a community of 15,000 alumni. Take a look around at what your fellow alumni are up to, what exciting things are happening on campus, and how to get involved. We hope to see you soon.
Celebrate your alma mater and help create a strong, vibrant future for the College by getting involved on our annual day of giving, Forester Day on February 27! Become an advocate and spread the word, celebrate with us on campus, in Chicago, or in Denver, call in to our annual telethon, and more. Go Foresters!
We may be a bit biased, but we think our 2024 Homecoming and Reunion Weekend was a huge success! A big thank you to the nearly 1,000 people who registered and made it an unforgettable weekend. We soaked up the warmth and light of the traditional bonfire, cheered on our Forester football team’s 42-0 victory, indulged in Fan Fest’s food truck treats, celebrated the achievements of our newly inducted Athletic Hall of Fame members, and honored the 2024 Golden Whistle Award recipient.
Are you like us and already counting down the days until 2025 Homecoming and Reunion Weekend? We can't wait for all of the excitement and celebration the weekend will hold, and we hope you can join us on campus October 10 to 11, 2025.
Amy Budde ‘19 is living her dream. After playing four years on the Forester women’s hockey team and professionally for another five, Budde ’19 was thrilled to be named the °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Head Women’s Hockey Coach last fall. “It was a no-brainer,” Budde said of the decision to coach the team she used to captain. “This had been my dream job since I was 18 years old. Even as I've lived in some of the most beautiful countries in the entire world, there’s still no community as close-knit, caring, and dedicated as °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï.”
U.S. News & World Report ranked °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï #1 for Social Mobility.
Wall Street Journal ranked °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï the best liberal arts college in the Midwest and #27 on its list of the Top 100 Colleges.
The New York Times recognized °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï as #13 of the Top Colleges with the Greatest Economic Diversity.
°Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï alumni know the power of a Forester education. To maintain the high-quality curriculum and transformative experiential learning opportunities we are so proud of, we need the support of generous donors. No matter the size of your donation, you are positively impacting students.
