The student-athlete experience at Lake Forest College is more than just practice and competition, and this year extends across the country and, in some cases, around the world. Forester teams are like families and their members support each other and the community in numerous ways.
This fall, student-athletes at the College are attending classes remotely, finding ways to keep in touch with one another, and continuing to be active and successful Foresters. The "Highlights from Home" series gives them an opportunity to share their experiences.
Sophomore Lionel Whitehead, a member of the men's cross country team, turned in today's update.
I'm currently working for the College as a tutor in the Quantitative Resource Center, tutoring calculus and physics. | |
This semester I decided to major in mathematics as well as physics. | |
I recently presented a project I was a part of over the summer at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Colloquium. The goal of the project was to create a simulation of how the virus would spread through campus and investigate what measures could be taken to reduce that spread. | |
About a month ago, I short play I wrote over the summer about the character of Mercutio from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was produced and performed by the Theater Department. | |
Having Strava is a great way to stay connected with my teammates through running and to keep each other on the grind. | |
At the beginning of last season, the team went to Six Flags (pictured) and, as a freshman, it was an important experience for me bonding with my teammates and coach. | |
I'm looking forward to when we can be safely back on campus. | |
