Lambert was "massively dyslexic" and couldn't read at 10 years old, although he could break down and reassemble a car.[1] Prior to coming to Harvard, he led the Division of Continuing Education at Colorado State University.[2] 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.[2]

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] He met his wife, Kelly, while an undergraduate.[1]
