 The Auburn community includes many passionate and inspirational sustainability practitioners. The Auburn University Spirit of Sustainability Awards have been developed to recognize individuals or groups of Auburn University students, faculty, staff, and alumni that exemplify the Auburn spirit by making significant contributions toward economic, social, and environmental sustainability on campus or in the community at large. For this inaugural year, we are privileged to honor eleven recipients and who are representative of the larger passion and commitment to sustainability that exists within the Auburn community. We have also created a special named award, the William Olson Student Achievement Award. |
 The Office of Sustainability together with Academic Sustainability Programs recently completed a comprehensive, year-long investigation to determine Auburn’s sustainability performance, using STARS, the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System. The campus has been taking steps toward sustainability for several years, and we wanted to evaluate what we are doing, and how we compare to our peers. How does Auburn University rate?…. Auburn achieved a STARS Silver Rating! In our recently released special STARS Auburn Sustainability Newsletter we highlight some areas where the campus community is showing success, others where we have opportunities for progress, and how the STARS assessment can help us shape the future of sustainability at Auburn. If you’d like to read all the details with information on how the campus is performing in ~140 different credit areas, Auburn’s complete STARS report can be viewed on the STARS website. |
Auburn’s Minor in Sustainability is open to all undergraduate students in any major.
