Titan Pride

What is Titan PRIDE?

We transform lives through learning by

...showing up authentically for students and colleagues, and following through with integrity and accountability,

...establishing and maintaining high service standards, and anticipating needs to refine and improve continuously,

...exceeding expectations to let students and colleagues know that they are welcome and valued,

...collaborating and communicating as a cohesive service team, and

...doing it all with respect and courtesy, always.

Titan PRIDE is a concept born out of a series of forums and conversations held across campus in 2018-19 focused on service. Together with multiple stakeholders across the college, we developed a definition of service mindset and service excellence at Lane, and a vision of a shared standard of care for colleagues and students.

This work will become a part of college operations in every department and area, through department planning, recognition of Titan PRIDE ambassadors, and a continued emphasis on the service we provide to both internal and external customers.

This site will be updated regularly as the Titan PRIDE concept continues to develop. If you’d like to get involved, or if you have ideas to share, please email us at TitanPRIDE@lanecc.edu.
