New sustainability course offered
March 7, 2011
Students interested in learning how to determine how sustainable an organization is
may be interested in a new course offered by the UAF Office of Sustainability, Honors
Program and Geography Department. Students will help conduct the Sustainability Tracking,
Assessment and Rating System (STARS) project. STARS is a comprehensive sustainability
assessment tool developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. This will involve research in all aspects of the university from energy, water,
and transportation, to curriculum, diversity, and administration. The tool will also
be a guide for advancing sustainability in all sectors of UAF.
The course can be credited either through an Individual Student Course or Internship
GEOG/NRM F300. There will also be an Honors course option. For Information contact
