renowned International Crane Foundation (ICF). He has devoted his life to protecting cranes around the world and helping environmentalists to understand the global context of bird conservation. He is famous for raising crane chicks
in captivity, imprinting chicks on people dressed to resemble adult cranes as closely as possible, and bringing people from diverse backgrounds together to help save cranes. As a true conservation ambassador, Dr. Archibald’s vast worldwide travels have given him unique experiences that make his presentations both informative and enjoyable.

More About Lake Forest College
Founded in 1857 as Lake Forest University, a group of Chicago Presbyterians set out to establish a college and a community at a midpoint between Evanston and Waukegan. The college became Lake Forest College in 1858. During the Civil War years, instruction ceased, at the college and resumed in 1876 thanks to Mary E. Smith Farwell, who wanted her daughter, Anna, to stay close to home to attend college and launched Lake Forest College.
In the 1990s, enrollment dipped below 1,000, but in the last decade it has remained at more than 1,200 students representing 47 states and 71 countries. The college has 30 majors.
Just this year, the college opened a new 68,000-square-foot recreation, sports and fitness center.
