No other organization puts architects, planners, facility managers, student, professors and university administration at the same table, and does so successfully to stimulate ideas and actions to bring a global sustainability perspective to higher education.

The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) STARS is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance. STARS® was developed by AASHE with broad participation from the higher education community. STARS provides a framework for understanding sustainability in all sectors of higher education. It enables meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of measurements developed with broad participation from the campus sustainability community. It helps create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability by facilitating information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance. AASHE is committed to building a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community and STARS is an important part of that. Any college or university located in the United States or Canada may participate in STARS. Presentation Title11
