To all faculty,
My name is Walker Shively and I am an intern assisting Teshome Molalenge at the Center for Sustainability with the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) project. STARS is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance and developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE ) with broad participation from the higher education community. The report evaluates every single aspect of sustainability on campus based upon a point system. One of the credits deals with the number of faculty involved in sustainability research. If you complete the following quick 5-question survey, I would really appreciate it. Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2RL7B6H
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important project.
Sincerely,
Walker Shively
