Dr. Stewart Diemont, an assistant professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), has received the 2016 ESF College Foundation Award for Exceptional Achievement in Teaching.
He is a faculty member in the ESF Department of Environmental and Forest Biology. The award recognized Diemont's creativity as a teacher and his contributions to the professional engineering community.
Diemont teaches courses in ecosystem restoration, ecological engineering and sustainable engineering. As a teacher, he strives to get students "to do rather than simply absorb."
Diemont earned a bachelor of arts degree in anthropology, pre-medicine from the University of Texas, Austin, a master's degree in environmental sciences and engineering from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering.
