The Commission establishes policy for the Parks Department and reviews development projects, large and small, that abut parks and parkways in order to ensure the protection of public greenspace in Boston.
Currently serving as the Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation, Special Projects, and Intramurals, Titus has been instrumental not only in the growth of UMass Boston athletics, but also college athletics as a whole in New England and the country.? He also played an integral role in the formation and development of the Little East Conference, which has established itself as the premiere Division III athletic conference in New England.? For his contributions to the Little East Conference, Titus was named to the inaugural Hall of Fame class and will be inducted on October 27.

Over the last 13 years, Titus has been inducted into three different Halls of Fame: Saint Michael's College, where he was a standout basketball player before graduating in 1972; the UMass Boston Hall of Fame in honor of his tremendous contributions to the university; and one of the greatest honors any coach can hope to receive, the New England Basketball Hall of Fame. ??
The Little East Conference officially began in 1986 as a playing conference for men's and women's basketball among six New England institutions: Eastern Connecticut State University, Plymouth State University, Rhode Island College, UMass Dartmouth, UMass Boston, and the University of Southern Maine.
