He received a bachelor’s degree in building science in 1982, a bachelor’s degree in architecture in 1983, and a master’s degree in building conservation in 2003, all from Rensselaer.

According to the RAA, letters of recommendation for Mistur detailed his dedication to students, faculty, and Rensselaer as a whole. He was praised for incorporating political, social, economic, and cultural issues into his teaching, and for being a leader in integrating schools and disciplines across the Institute. He was recognized for his sense of values, wit, and insight, and his acumen as an adviser, teacher, and leader.

The RAA Teaching Award was created in 1994 by the Rensselaer Alumni Association Board of Trustees and is designed to recognize current members of the Rensselaer faculty for their outstanding teaching techniques, contributions to the campus experience, and commitment to students. One award is presented each year.
