A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Our STARS Team, Katie Maynard, Jewel Persad, an Giana Gurrera (STARS Student Intern) were assigned STARS credits to collect data for and compile into the STARS online tool.
Once a credit was complete a 1st review was conducted by one of the individuals listed above who had no participation in data collection or compilation for the credit being reviewed. If any revisions were required or the credit did not meet criteria, the credit owner was notified, corrections were made, and a 2nd review was performed by another STARS team member.
