What should Lane Community College look like in 2030? Where should we focus our efforts to make the greatest difference for students and our community?
Next week, students, faculty, classified professionals, managers, and community members are invited to help answer these questions as Lane begins a series of engagement forums for its 2027–2030 Strategic Plan.
The college has partnered with Coraggio Group to facilitate conversations that will help identify priorities for the next three years. Building on initial work with the Board of Education and College Council, participants will explore a proposed North Star, When You Rise, Our Communities Thrive, along with five preliminary areas of opportunity.
These include economic mobility and community vibrancy, student support and progress, inclusive excellence in teaching and learning, organizational health and effectiveness, and data literacy, empowerment, and innovation.
These ideas are starting points, and the college wants to hear what resonates, what needs more attention, and what may be missing.
