Goal 4: Develop publicly-available campus sustainability reporting
The 2014 Campus Sustainability Report highlights sustainability initiatives in research, education, service, student
engagement and campus operations. UGA received a STARS Gold Rating in its first-ever Sustainability, Tracking,
Assessment, & Rating System (STARS) report submitted by OoS in April 2014, representing the culmination of over two
years of documentation efforts by interns and staff in OoS, as well as partners in multiple departments across the campus.
Campus sustainability surveys are completed by OoS annually, resulting in annual inclusion on the Princeton Review Guide
to Green Colleges, A- grade on the SEI Campus Sustainability Report Card in 2011 and Green Honor Roll in 2012.
