About Lawrence Technological University No other than Henry and Edsel Ford helped Russell E. Lawrence launch a fledgling school called Lawrence Institute of Technology in 1932.
A Long and Rich
HISTORY
The University’s first campus was located in Highland Park, in a building adjacent to the huge manufacturing facility where Ford’s revolutionary Model T had been built and many other now common labor practices were established.
The new university was founded on the principle that every person should have the opportunity for a college education. From the beginning, there were no restrictions on entering students relating to race, sex, color, creed, or national or ethnic origin – only the requirement that students qualify for admission and have the desire to succeed. Working students could earn a baccalaureate degree by attending evening programs, day programs, or a combination of the two – a feature unique in 1932 and still remarkable today. E. George Lawrence became president of the newly founded university in 1934 after the death of the founding president Russell E. Lawrence. He served as president from 1934 to 1964, turning a dream of preparing students for leadership in the new technical era into reality. Wayne H. Buell, who served as president from 1964 to 1977 and as chair of the board and chief executive officer until 1981, worked to build a firm foundation for the University’s early emergence as a technological leader. Richard E. Marburger was named president of the University in 1977. Lawrence Tech’s first housing center, the Wayne H. Buell Management Building, the Don Ridler Field House, a major addition to engineering facilities, and the massive growth of computer facilities marked his presidency. The University’s name was changed to Lawrence Technological University in 1989. Charles M. Chambers became president in 1993. During his presidency, he oversaw the construction of the University Technology and Learning Center, University Housing-North, the A. Alfred Taubman Student Services Center, a redeveloped campus quadrangle, and the Center for Innovative Materials Research; revamping of the computer system; creation of Michigan’s first completely wireless campus; and expanded student services. Lewis N. Walker became president in 2006. He expanded programs in emerging economic sectors such as robotics, defense, and sustainability, including “fast track” certificate programs to help professionals retool for new careers. He also worked to add leadership studies to all undergraduate curricula.
“All the worthwhile and precious things in life are only obtained through continuous and exacting effort, and their worth is in direct proportion to the effort put forth for their attainment.”
Russell E. Lawrence , 1889–1934

Virinder K. Moudgil, Lawrence Tech’s seventh president, assumed office in 2012. He has had a long career as a professor and university administrator and was an active researcher in the molecular mechanisms of steroid hormone action and the hormonal regulation of breast cancer. Under Dr. Moudgil’s leadership this year, the University: • Opened the A. Alfred Taubman Engineering, Architecture, and Life Sciences Complex connecting the Science and Engineering Buildings • Dedicated the Edward Donley Residence Hall, formerly called North Housing, in honor of Ed Donley, BSME’43, HD’76, HD’87, a devoted and tireless supporter of his alma mater • Acquired five acres and the Enterprise Center, a 97,000-square-foot office building adjacent to campus Lawrence Tech was founded as a college of engineering with only a few hundred students and a handful of faculty. In 1952, the College of Management was re-established, having been originally created in 1939 as part of an earlier industrial engineering curriculum. The College of Architecture and Design evolved in 1962 from the former architectural engineering program. The College of Arts and Sciences was established in 1967. While LTU was originally a commuter college, it now attracts students from 25 states and 60 countries. The University acquired acreage in Southfield and in 1955 opened its first building on what had been a General Mills research farm. The campus has since expanded to 107 acres and 17 major buildings, as well as the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Affleck House in Bloomfield Hills, which was donated to the University in 1978. Today LTU offers more than 100 programs in four colleges, with an enrollment of some 4,500 students. It is among Michigan’s largest independent colleges. About LTU’s College of Management The College of Management evolved from Lawrence Technological University’s degree program in industrial engineering, which in the 1930s combined technology, business, law, economics, and management subjects to benefit managers and administrators of utilities and manufacturing facilities, particularly the operations of Detroit’s automobile companies and their suppliers. In the aftermath of the Great Depression in 1939, as financial conditions returned more to normal, Lawrence Tech consolidated much of its business and management coursework, transferring it from the College of Engineering to a newly formed College of Business Administration. It inaugurated a new Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). Several hundred students were pursuing BSBA degrees when the United States entered World War II. Due to the massive swings in enrollment and programs during the war years, the College of Business Administration was disbanded as a separate administrative unit in 1946. Then, as the enrollment grew again through the influx of returning veterans benefiting from the GI Bill, Lawrence Tech reestablished the College of Business Administration as a separate administrative unit in 1952.
College of Management Misson Using a model of theory and practice, LTU’s College of Management prepares our students for opportunities in the global economy through interdisciplinary educational programs that emphasize the business, ethical, social, and technological dimensions of leadership and management.
Throughout this period, Lawrence Tech’s programs in economics and business administration were led by Edwin O. “Doc” Graeffe.

STAFF The administrators and support staff of the College of Management are dedicated to providing students caring, efficient service. Their goal is to ensure that the only challenges students face at LTU are in the classroom. Graeffe’s career with the University ended with his death in 1972, and he was succeeded by Professor Leland A. Lahr, who changed the name of the college to the College of Business and Industrial Management and added a number of specialization tracks, such as accounting and finance, marketing and distribution, personnel and labor relations, operations management, and business administration. Work on the 105,400-square-foot Wayne H. Buell Management Building began in 1980 and ended in 1982. The partly earth-sheltered building, named for Lawrence Tech’s third president, was designed for energy conservation. The College of Management took its current name in the early 1980s. In 1989 the college launched the Master of Business Administration program, the first Lawrence Tech graduate degree since the World War II era. Rapidly popular, the MBA was the vanguard of dozens of new graduate programs offered by the University in its quest to meet the evolving needs of students and the professions they enter.
