Lakeside School

Alums with a huge variety of life stories returned to campus to share their wisdom, humor, and perspective with students during this year's Life After Lakeside event. More than just a career panel, Life After Lakeside gives students a chance to hear from alums about the unexpected twists and turns their lives have taken, ask candid questions about adulthood after high school, gain insight into what interesting people in all stages of life are still figuring out, and learn more about the influences, collaborators, friends, mistakes, successes, surprises, and deepening self-knowledge that have led Lakeside alums along their nonlinear paths in life.
