David Luman: A career of advocacy and mentorship

David Lubman’s advocacy work in creating a standard for classroom acoustics has impacted the learning environments for students and teachers for decades—an achievement to be celebrated on its own. But within the Acoustical Society, his enthusiasm for acoustics was contagious, creating profound impacts on young professionals. We will share the stories of ourselves, two individuals entering the field of acoustics nearly two decades apart, whose careers were shaped by our involvement in classroom acoustics advocacy and through David’s encouragement.
