Results will be compiled and analyzed by the end of the spring semester 2022. Our previous assessment was administered less than three years ago (assessment was administered to students in environmental classes as well as general seminar classes in general education requirements. The same students received the assessments at the beginning and end of the semester, and samples were broken up by course to track on a somewhat granular level the impact in sustainability education).
