STARS - Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System o Comprehensive & respected sustainability
metric for higher education institutionso 700+ participating institutions, 300+ ratedo Princeton Review, Sierra Club & others
utilize STARS data o Administered by AASHE – Association for the
Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education
How do we measure up?
