Bay College Announces Quarterly TORCH Award Winner

News

Congratulations to Jonathan Lane, Bay College's quarterly December  2019 – February 2020 TORCH Award winner. Jonathan is the Enterprise Application Manager in the IT Department at Bay College. He is recognized for his work as noted in the following:

T - Technical expert and Team-player:

Jonathan not only has exceptional technical expertise, he is also very much a team player. I recently had an opportunity to work with him on improving a process and he truly demonstrated what I would say are the perfect attributes of an IT worker (technical expertise with the ability to listen and respond to user needs).

O - Outstanding Customer Service

Jonathan is always extremely prompt in responding to questions and requests. In my position, I don't interact with Jonathan on a regular basis, but every time I have sent him a question or concern, he has responded right away and has worked diligently to find a solution.

R - Respectful

Jonathan treats everyone with respect and is very professional in his communication with others.

C - Can Do Attitude

Jonathan always strives to find a solution and/or improve a process. He listens carefully to input/feedback and does his best to find a solution that will best meet the needs of the user. He is very service-oriented.

H - Humble

One of my favorite things about Jonathan is that he consistently performs his duties at a high level of competency, but does so inconspicuously. He is one of those critical behind-the-scenes individuals that you don't always notice or appreciate until they're gone. He is a rock star in my book!”
