Research Inventory

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
In 2013, all of the department chairs were contacted by the Office of Sustainability, asking who in their department were conducting "sustainability-related" and "sustainability-focused" research. Once this list of potential candidates was known, we contacted individual faculty. In 2014, for STARS 2.0, new faculty were analyzed through the same method. And in 2018, for STARS 2.1, course offerings for the previous year were reviewed and research affirmed by faculty. In 2021, we utilized the survey from AASHE to incorporate a question regarding sustainability research and followed up with previous faculty from earlier submissions to determine if they still conduct sustainability focused or related research.
