Has the institution completed an assurance process that provides independent affirmation that the information in its current STARS report is reported in accordance with credit criteria?:
Did the assurance process include internal review, an external audit, or both?:
The name, title, and organizational affiliation of each reviewer:
Internal Review: Lucas Ozols-Mongeau, Manager of Planning & Sustainability,
KPU External Audit: Christine Pinkman, STARS Project Manager, British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT); Christina Olsen, Sustainability Manager, BCIT
A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Both the Internal Review and External Audit involved the STARS 2.2 Review Template to guide the assurance process. The internal review was conducted by an administrator of the Campus and Community Planning Department. They were not involved in the STARS data collection process prior to the review. The external audit was conducted by sustainability employees at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. When issues were identified by both parties, they were noted in the STARS 2.2 Review Template and were then addressed by KPU's STARS liaison, Alicia Gowan. Changes addressed were then recorded in the Review Template.
