Lambert was "massively dyslexic" and couldn't read at 10 years old, although he could break down and reassemble a car.[1] He grew up in Dover, Massachusetts, and his mother was graduated from the Extension School.[2] She only attended the ceremony, however, after her son became the dean.[2] He met his wife, Kelly, while an undergraduate.[1]

Prior to coming to Harvard, he taught in an MBA program.[2] He also led the Division of Continuing Education at Colorado State University where he created the Colorado State University Global Campus, an all-online public university.[2][3] He has a bachelor’s degree from Colorado College and a master’s of science in management degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management.[3]

His goal as dean is "to ensure that high-quality education is available at a fair price to the 20 million Americans who need better education to participate in a knowledge economy."[1]
