Title: Dr. Thomas Lane - Assistant Vice President Student Life-Director of Missouri State University & I in his office- Nov 18, 2013

Completed Time: Nov 16, 2013
Remarks:
At 1:15pm, Monday afternoon, Nov 18, 2013, I visited Dr. Thomas Lane, Assistant Vice President Student Life-Director and the director of Plaster Student Union, sponsor of my art exhibition at PSU in May, 2010.

I knew Dr.Thomas Lane via email April,2010, and I met him first time May 3, 2010. What he did and touched me deeply, not only for his extremely responsible management and organization jobs, but also for he took care of every thing personally: it was he and Ms. Robin Lowe from Art and Design Department did the advertisement of my art exhibition and he itself was the connection in person, his email was on the advertisement page on the web site of the University for about one month. It was he discussed how to decorate the room with Ms. Robin Lowe and Mr. Gong Xiaoou, how to hang up the paintings, also, it was he and his assistant carried the sofas one by one in the exhibition hall in person, came to the hall each morning at about 7:30am, to see what had happened and whether I needed help before he started his work, cared for every thing and equipment of the reception...

If I did not know his title, I would never think that I was working with a senior management who is an assistant Vice President and the director of Plaster Student Union of the university...

With a respected and a grateful heart, I visited Dr. Thomas Lane in his office in PSU. What I was most impression on: there are more than 300 students organizations in Missouri State University; their students affairs staff helped and supported those events to keep the healthy development of the campus community, but they never lead or command any student organizations by any forced administration styles; meanwhile, he has taught and worked on a national student affair management training program for a few years, one of his dreams is to make this program to be the top...


I do hope Dr. Thomas Lane, his wife and family members will be happier, luckier and more successful.
