Ohio University alum Jeremy Deem ’95, who majored in History in the College of Arts & Sciences, received a faculty award at Colorado Mountain College’s Summit County campus, the Summit Daily reported on Feb. 18.
Jeremy Deem teaches outdoor education, history and sustainable studies and was given the part-time award.
Deem, originally from West Virginia, has lived in Summit County for 17 years. He served as a Colorado Outward Bound instructor for seven years and has 16 years of experience guiding river, rock climbing and canyoneering expeditions worldwide.
He joined the CMC faculty five years ago, hired to teach outdoor education classes. But after learning Deem also holds two history degrees, a bachelor’s from Ohio University and a master’s from Colorado State University, the school recruited him for those classes as well.
Now, besides outdoor education, he teaches Colorado and American Indian history, emergency medical services and sustainability studies.
“(He) is a master teacher,” Askeland said. “Students appreciate not only his expertise in teaching, but also his respect and encouragement to keep trying.”
