Brandeis University

Lemberg Academic Center

The Lemberg Academic Center is named for Samuel Lemberg, whose grandsons provided the leadership gift for the building of the Center. Business executive, community leader and international philanthropist, Samuel Lemberg was one of Brandeis University's earliest supporters in New York City and a key strategist behind the university's rapid growth.

In the Honorary Degree Citation presented to Sam Lemberg, Dr. Abram Sachar, Founding President of Brandeis, said "Neither the poverty of his childhood, nor his decades in the marketplace of American business, have coarsened the fiber of his humanity or quenched the flame of his compassion."
