Fall In-service and Spring Conference
The college also provides full-day professional development opportunities in the spring and fall terms. The days include guest speakers and breakout sessions on relevant topics tied to the institution's strategic priorities. Employees also have the opportunity for professional growth as they share their expertise as workshop facilitators on these campus conference days.
Fall In-Service
Our Fall In-Service event provides an opportunity to prepare as a campus community for a new academic year of guiding all of our students toward the successful progression and completion of their respective programs. The event focuses on institutional priorities and creating a climate that supports all staff at the college by providing educational workshops, lectures, and breakout sessions for classified, faculty, and management staff.
Spring Conference
The event we know as Spring Conference arrives annually on Lane's main campus on a Friday during spring term. On this day, the College promotes professional development and training for classified, faculty, and management staff in the form of concurrent, multi-disciplinary workshops that occur throughout the day, as well as providing staff an opportunity to network and meet up with colleagues at a buffet lunch.
