A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:

Faculty either self-identified as doing sustainability research or through analysis of their research, were identified by the Office of Sustainability and the Campus Sustainability Committee.

To qualify as sustainability-related research, the specific AASHE STARS criteria were used as it was a broad and inclusive approach that utilized the United Nations Sustainability Development goals and Sustainability Challenges.

Each faculty members bio, department affiliation, and research was reviewed.
