The Department of Physics at Lake Forest College offers students the opportunity to participate in summer research projects that extend learning beyond the classroom.
Under the guidance of faculty mentors, students engage in hands-on investigations that develop technical skills, foster critical thinking, and encourage collaboration. This experience allows students to explore innovative ideas, deepen their understanding of physics, and prepare for future academic or professional pursuits.
