Issue date: 12/7/09 Section: News
Two faculty members of the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture will be honored for outstanding achievement at the Stephen F. Austin State University Foundation's 21st annual Gala on Saturday at the Baker Pattillo Student Center.
Dr. David Kulhavy, professor of forest entomology and landscape ecology, is the recipient of the Faculty Achievement Award for Teaching, and Dr. Warren C. Conway, associate professor of wildlife management, is the recipient of the Faculty Achievement Award for Research.
From nationally recognized, hands-on workshops and expositions for school-aged children, to a Smithsonian Institute exhibition of children's monarch butterfly drawings, Kulhavy has engaged thousands of young minds. "Dr. Bug," as he is known, actively seeks out new and innovative ways to share his knowledge of entomology, environmental science and other aspects of his field.
At SFA, Kulhavy teaches several courses from forest pest management to conservation of natural resources, and he has authored numerous industry articles and publications. Under Kulhavy's direction, a project by landscape ecology students was selected to represent SFA at the Clinton Global Initiative University, where undergraduate students from around the world present plans to better the world landscape.
Kulhavy was awarded a fellowship by the Society of American Foresters in 2008 and the A.D. Hopkins Award for Excellence in Southern Forest Entomology in 2006. He also has received the national Distinguished Achievement Award in Teaching from the Entomological Society of America.
Kulhavy joined the SFA faculty in 1978. He was named Regents Professor in 1996.
Since joining the SFA faculty in 2002, Dr. Warren Conway has expanded the research efforts of the college and secured more than $2 million in external funding for wildlife management programs, primarily the study of habitats and eco-regions.
Conway has contributed to numerous industry publications including "The Journal of Wildlife Management" and "The Southeastern Naturalist." He has been active in recruiting new students to the graduate program and has shared his knowledge through presentations and lectures throughout the country. In 2005, Conway received the Outstanding Educator award from the Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society.
