Narrative outlining the data collection process used in the preparation of this report:

The newly created UNM Office of Sustainability led the data collection effort. Core personnel met with and/or emailed the relevant entities across the university to gather the institutional and other data. The data were kept in a master tracking worksheet on a shared drive and reviewed internally by relevant UNM units and the Office of Sustainability team. Ultimately, once reviewed and verified, the data was input into the STARS online reporting tool.
