Amy Stock was an adjunct lecturer and
professor with SUNY Empire State College.
The Amy Stock Memorial Scholarship in
Sustainability has been established by the Stock
family and the Empire State College Foundation,
in memory of Amy L. Stock, who died July
19, in Albany at the age of 48, the victim of a
drunk driver.
An adjunct lecturer and professor with
SUNY Empire State College’s Center for
Distance Learning for nearly a decade, she
designed many of the courses she taught on
ecology and the environment. In 2008, Stock
co-founded Sustainable Saratoga, a grassroots
advocacy group established to educate people
living in the greater Saratoga Springs community
about the benefits of achieving environmental
sustainability.
In reflecting on her life, the Stock family
shared their thoughts with the college.
“Whether Amy was composting, gardening,
taking the bus, riding her bike or reusing plastic
Ziploc bags, she lived her life in a sustainable
way every day,” said a family statement. “She
believed and demonstrated how one person
could make a difference, which is why teaching
and advocacy for environmental sustainability
were such an important part of her life.
