Lake earned her bachelor’s degree in art education from the University of Florida, and her master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition to many awards, grants, fellowships and exhibitions of her works, Lake was honored with the University of Florida Superior Accomplishment Award in 2013, which is given to staff in recognition of outstanding and meritorious service, efficiency and/or economy, or to the quality of life provided to students and employees.
“We welcome Lauren Lake to UAB as we reaffirm our commitment to the growth and development of the arts at UAB,” said College of Arts and Sciences Dean Robert Palazzo, Ph.D. “I am confident that her leadership skills and outstanding abilities will greatly enhance our already thriving Department of Art and Art History, and I look forward to its continued success and a new level of accomplishment for students and faculty with her at the helm.”
