Posted on May 7, 2012
Cal U again has earned a listing in The Princeton Review’s Guide to Green Colleges, a comprehensive
directory produced annually in partnership with the U.S. Green Building
Council. The directory presents “green highlights on the nation’ most
eco-friendly campuses,” spotlighting colleges and universities that “demonstrate a
strong commitment to sustainability in their academic offerings, campus
infrastructure, activities and career preparation.” Cal U is one of 322 schools included in the directory. The
University’s profile focuses on the sustainable geothermal energy used for
heating and cooling Cal U residence halls, as well as the Cal U Weather
Center’s participation in the G.L.O.B.E. data collection program. In addition, the profile notes Cal U’s commitment to serving
local and organic foods in its dining hall; transportation options such as free
bus service and car sharing; internships and career counseling in
conservation-related industries and “green” jobs; and degree programs in
environmental studies. Cal U has been included on the directory since 2010.
