“We are deeply saddened by Thelma Lally's passing. She and Ken have been magnificent benefactors to Rensselaer, and to the entire capital region. Their generosity has left an indelible mark at Rensselaer through the Kenneth T. and Thelma P. Lally School of Management and Technology, named in their honor in 1995. Students for generations will benefit from their foresight and commitment to ensuring that there is a prominent school of management here in the region bringing together students from around the globe. The Rensselaer community will certainly miss Thelma Lally — a true and generous humanitarian."

NOTE:  In 1995, in honor of their generosity, Rensselaer proudly renamed the School of Management, the Kenneth T. and Thelma P. Lally School of Management and Technology. Their stated goal has been to help the Lally School achieve national prominence. The Lally School has just been ranked sixth in the nation in Entrepreneur Magazine.
