Cassie Lambris & Tammy MacArthur Memorial

Cassie Lambris truly loved Orange Coast College and its people. Her involvement with OCC spanned over a decade as a student, an athlete, and an athletic trainer. In spite of a multitude of physical ailments, Cassie’s involvement with athletic training and sports medicine intensified, solidifying her reputation as a potential expert in the field. Upon graduating from CSUF with a degree in physical education in 1979, Cassie continued to take specialized classes at OCC up until her death.

Cassie will always be remembered as a friend. Her genuine concern for people and overwhelming desire to serve those who seek athletic excellence has reserved a special place in our hearts and our minds.

Each year the recipient of the Cassie Lambris Memorial Scholarship will be a full-time student pursuing a degree. Each candidate will demonstrate a warm caring concern for others. In addition, there will be unique circumstances and/or hardship surrounding the recipient’s quest in attaining his/her educational goals.

Tammy was a Sports Medicine student at Orange Coast College. An extremely intelligent and hardworking young lady, she was on her way to a full-scholarship in Sports Medicine at Colorado when her life was cut short by leukemia in June of 1979. This perpetual scholarship goes to an OCC student majoring in Sports Medicine.
