"I owe everything to Lane College. Over fifty years ago I matriculated at Lane College and it changed the trajectory of my life. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than being able to give back to Lane College and giving to Lane College students in a way that is life-changing to them the way Lane was life-changing for me. I challenge all my fellow Lanites to give back to our beloved alma mater in a meaningful way...for where would we be without Fair Lane?" - Dr. Yvonne Griggs Allen
