The upcoming Kenneth C. Griffin Cancer Research Building will further position it as a leader in scientific discovery.
HH: What legacy do you hope to leave through your philanthropy and advocacy?
KL: My hope is for my children. The progress made since my own diagnosis has been remarkable, and I want my daughter to face a future where breast cancer is no longer a deadly disease. We have the knowledge and tools to change the trajectory, and I’m proud to contribute to that effort.
HH: You’ve also supported the arts through various organizations. How do you see the arts impacting society?
KL: I serve on the boards of the Princess Grace Foundation and L’Alliance New York, both of which promote cross- cultural appreciation. The Princess Grace Foundation supports emerging talent in
theater, dance, and film, while L’Alliance fosters understanding of French and Francophone culture. The arts enhance creativity, empathy, and social connection, strengthening communities in profound ways. I’m passionate about supporting these initiatives because I believe in their power to bring people together and enrich lives.
From international law to global philanthropy, Kinga Lampert’s work continues to make a meaningful impact across multiple fields. Whether advancing cancer research or championing the arts, she exemplifies the transformative power of dedication and vision. We at AUWCL are incredibly proud of her accomplishments as an alumna and celebrate her journey from our halls to leadership in philanthropy.
