NJIT Faculty Member Receives Excellent Teacher Award

NEWARK, Oct 12 2005

Hornsby, of Princeton Junction, received the award for demonstrating excellence in the classroom and for encouraging and guiding students to work at their highest academic level.

Hornsby’s graduate course on environmental site remediation offers students information about the state-of-the-art techniques that consultants and regulatory agencies use when cleaning contaminated sites. The course covers how to contend with and redevelop Brownfield sites – old contaminated industrial buildings and lands.

Hornsby’s course is one of the most popular and well-subscribed courses in the department since, as one former student reported: “the students in the class were given information that was up-to-date, technically important and extremely valuable in the work environment.”
