A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
The first round of review was conducted internally by Sustainability Manager, Holli Fajack. She reviewed all of the data and responses compiled by the Office of Sustainability's Sustainability Specialist and Student Assistants, revising as necessary.
She then added our colleagues at CSU Northridge as reviewers on the STARS platform and shared the review template via email. They conducted their review and sent back comments and suggested corrections and revisions. We addressed those items and sent the template back to them. They reviewed our corrections and sent us a final version of the template showing that all issues had been resolved.
