New scholarship honors COA+A’s founding dean

A group of architecture alumni have established a new scholarship endowment for the College of Arts + Architecture (CoA+A) in honor of founding dean Ken Lambla.

CoA+A Interim Dean Lee Gray and Jim Williams of Little Diversified Architectural Consulting joined 14 alumni to raise $60,000 for the Ken Lambla Scholarship Endowment.

Beginning in 2021, the endowment will fund an annual scholarship for an architecture major who enrolls in at least one course in the visual or performing arts.

The alumni who made the initial gifts are Dennis Hall ‘76, Terry Shook ’76, Richard Alsop Jr. ’77, Jeff Floyd ’77, Rob Johnson ’77, Kevin Kelley ‘87, Michael Dunning ‘92, Jeff Kenoff ’92, Todd Williams ‘92, Chris Scorsone ’93, Richard Alsop III ’95, Kevin Kennedy ‘96, Ryan Clark ’04 and Ashley Clark ’05.

A current crowdfund campaign seeks to build upon their gifts to bring the endowment to $100,000, which would then provide two annual scholarships.
