Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Student Run Sustainability Report

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Blue Sky’s sustainability reports begin with a student-led materiality assessment with three main stakeholder groups of each College. These groups include students, faculty and staff, and external stakeholders. From there, the student reporting team finalizes its reporting topics and begins collecting and analyzing data. Students write and compile each college’s report, and findings are presented to each college’s leadership team with recommendations of improvement. Recommendations are approved and students are provided the opportunity to work with campus leadership to implement report recommendations.

Since 2014, COBE has published an annual sustainability report; and since 2016, COHS has published an annual sustainability report. SPS welcomed its inaugural report in 2018, with a new report published in 2019 as well.

These reports have received global recognition for the us of UNPRIME.
