Executive EdD Graduate Becomes College President
Dr. Austin Lane, a graduate of The University of Alabama’s EdD in Higher Education Administration Executive Cohort program was recently named the new president of the Montgomery arm of the Lone Star College System in Texas.

“I strongly believe that the quality and expertise of the faculty members in the higher education administration program at UA along with the scholarly discussions that took place among my peers in the executive cohort played a major role in my goal of wanting to become a community college president,” said Lane.

The Lone Star College System consists of five colleges and six academic centers making it the largest higher education institution in the Houston area and third largest community college system in Texas.

“Pursuing the EdD in Higher Education Administration was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of instruction, expertise and research interests of the faculty, and vast educational and administrative experiences of students in the executive cohort, and first-class facilities at The University of Alabama,” said Lane.
