A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
The Green Lifestyles program was established by student interns at the Office of Green Initiatives over the Spring of 2016. The assessment is administered through a google form where students, faculty, and staff check off which green activities they do on a regular basis. The assessment is provided at least twice an academic year, and participation is on a voluntary basis.

A sample of the questions related to sustainability culture or the website URL where the assessment tool is available:
1. I use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs for extra
or alternative lighting.
2. I use a power strip and turn it off/unplug it when my electronics are not in use (power
cords left plugged in still consume energy even when electronics are not charging).
3. I unplug my cell phone charger, laptop, or laptop charger when not in use.
4. I do not stream movies, shows, or videos for more than 5 hours each week.
5. I often open the shades to let in natural light during the day rather than turning on the
lights.
A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
The assessment is administered through a google form where students, faculty, and staff check off which green activities they do on a regular basis. The assessment is provided at least twice an academic year, and participation is on a voluntary basis.
A brief summary of results from the cultural assessment:
Most participants either improve their scores over time, or show no change. Very few show a negative change in green activities. Because participation is self-selecting and the respondent assesses their own compliance with the activity, it is difficult to objectively measure change over time.
