Lamberth’s colleagues described her as a model senior tutor.
“During my own time as a senior tutor, Dr. Lamberth was the colleague I turned to most often for advice, and I think many of the other senior tutors have done so as well,” said Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education John T. O’Keefe. “She’s universally respected by those who work with her daily, and we’re all going to miss her a great deal.”
Some Winthrop students said they will be sad to see Lamberth leave.
“I can understand...the job demands a lot of her time while it’s her son and husband who matter most,” said Daniel B. Tomlin ’03. “Everyone thinks it’s a loss to Winthrop House, I only wish that there’s a way she could do both roles.”
Lamberth said she will miss the students, tutors and staff of Winthrop House.
“This was a difficult decision,” she said.
She added that working with the senior tutors, Lewis and other members of the Administrative Board, “many of whom are not only friends but true role models...personally and professionally” has been a “particular privilege.”
Lewis said Lamberth’s decision to step down stemmed from the need to balance academic and personal ambitions.
“When people are good at so many things and want to do them all superbly, they have to make choices; that is what happened here,” Lewis said.
