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

Each year the Dean of the College’s office requests curriculum vitae updates from everyone at the rank of instructor and above. From these updates, a list of Faculty Achievements for the previous academic year is complied. Staff in the Sustainability Office reviews this list and adds sustainability research, publications, and accomplishments to a running list of these accomplishments for the past three academic years. Then the number of individuals included and the departments represented are counted.
