Torch Features Reading Together Donor Jane King

Lane's student run newspaper, The Torch, honored Jane King, founding Reading Together donor and active Reading Together Steering Committee member, in a feature article in their November 30, 2006 issue. The article describes Jane King's lifelong "love of education," and her particular enjoyment of interdisciplinary learning community classes, among the "more than a hundred credit hours" that she took at Lane in the years following her masters degree and teaching career.  Reading Together was born from Jane King's desire to create a college wide interdisciplinary project in which "students at Lane [could] have the co-curricular enrichment that students at a 4 -year liberal arts college would get," according to project coordinator, Ellen Cantor, as quoted in The Torch article.
