Willamette Recognized as First in Nation for Sustainability Activities

August 21, 2008

A report card from the National Wildlife Federation recognized Willamette University for engaging in the most sustainability activities of all the 1,068 schools that participated in the federation’s recent nationwide survey.

The NWF’s report, “Campus Environment 2008: A National Report Card on Sustainability in Higher Education,” is based on results from the nation’s largest survey to gauge sustainability at colleges and universities. More than 240 individual schools are recognized and named in the report for having exemplary levels of sustainability activities, as determined by survey responses, and the school engaged in the greatest number of such activities is Willamette.

According to the NWF, “Willamette is committed to energy efficiency and conservation, greener transportation, environmentally friendly landscaping practices, as well as to orienting personnel and faculty to the sustainability goals of the campus.”
