Ms Langman graduated cum laude with her Advanced Diploma in Forestry in 2025 and was nominated by the University’s Department of Forestry and Wood Technology for the award.
Her current research focuses on improving the productivity of clonal Eucalyptus hybrids, specifically Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla.
This award recognises her achievements and contribution within the forestry field. According to Forestry South Africa, the competition attracted a high calibre of students, making the judging process particularly challenging.
This recognition also highlights the calibre of postgraduate students emerging from the University’s forestry programme.
“This is another proud moment for our Faculty and Department,” said Tiaan Pool, congratulating Ms Langman on receiving the award.
The award was recently presented during a She Is Forestry SA webinar, where Ms Langman was invited to deliver a one-minute acceptance speech. Award recipients were also required to participate actively in the webinar as part of the recognition.
