Mount Union Once Again Named to Princeton Review’s “Guide to Green Colleges”
December 17, 2021NEW YORK — The University of Mount Union was once again named to The Princeton Review’s 12th annual “Guide to Green Colleges” listing, which features 420 institutions across the country that illustrate a commitment to sustainability.
According to The Princeton Review’s website, institutions are selected for this recognition through a survey that analyzes more than 25 data points regarding sustainability-related policies, practices and programs to establish a Green Rating. Only institutions with a Green Rating higher than 80 on a 100-point scale are chosen for the guide.
"Given the sobering indicators of climate change and global calls to prioritize sustainability, we are pleased to shine a light on these schools and recommend them for their exceptional commitment to the environment,” said Rob Franek, Editor in Chief of The Princeton Review.
Alongside Mount Union’s beautiful campus and grounds, the University has a Sustainability Management Advisory Council, the Green Raiders sustainability assistant program, offers a minor in sustainability and grants students the opportunity to conduct research at the Huston-Brumbaugh Nature Center.
