Lane served in the United States Marine Corps, earning the rank of
Captain. He received an MBA from Harvard Business School and a
Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University.
“I am humbled to receive this recognition from an organization I
deeply respect on behalf of the extraordinary men and women with
whom I have served," says Lane. "I applaud the important work MCU
Foundation does on a daily basis. At Equitable, we remain committed
to supporting the military community, including wounded warriors
and veterans through scholarships and support services for
active-duty military personnel.”
Lieutenant General Richard Mills, President and CEO of The
Marine Corps University Foundation explained that “the Foundation
is thrilled to honor Nick Lane this year. His service to the Corps,
the Country and the military and civilian communities exemplifies
the very best of what being a Marine is all about. Nick is truly
Semper Fi, Always Faithful, to the core values that Marines adhere
to: Honor, Courage and Commitment."
The MCU Foundation’s objective is twofold:
- to prepare Marines at all levels to address complex security
challenges in a rapidly transforming world through an unparalleled
education in security and warfighting studies, and
- to groom the next generation of decision makers within the
Marine Corps, government and the private sector, equipping them
with the critical thinking skills that will enable them to achieve
success in any number of career paths.
Today, the Foundation’s efforts to enrich and enhance
professional military education focus on:
- Strengthening the Marine Corps University's position of thought
leadership in military studies and national security affairs,
- Cultivating the problem-solving skills that enable Marines to
think creatively and act decisively in uncertain environments,
and
- Developing the most knowledgeable, well-rounded and
forward-thinking leaders, from Corporal to General
"My time in the Marines instilled so many invaluable leadership
qualities in me and provided me with the opportunity to work with
and learn from amazing men and women from all over the country,"
Lane concluded.
Lieutenant General Kevin Iiams, Commanding General for the
Marine Corps’ Training and Education Command, served as the
military guest of honor for the event. “Once a Marine, always a
Marine,” liams remarked. “The leadership traits unique to Marines
stay with them as they make contributions to the world after their
Marine Corps service. I am proud to be a part of recognizing an
American who embodies the values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment
we continue to uphold.”
