蜜桃影像

Sustainability and a commitment to protecting the environment are priorities for 蜜桃影像 and this focus was once again recognized as SU was selected for inclusion in the most recent .”

While the report is not ranked numerically, there were just 388 institutions—primarily in North America—listed and 蜜桃影像 was one of just eight in Washington state.

Schools were selected for inclusion primarily based on data from Princeton Review surveys of administrators at the colleges in 2024-25. The survey requested information about each institution’s sustainability related policies, practices and programs. Princeton also surveyed students from the colleges about their experiences including administrator and student support for environmental awareness and conservation efforts on campus.

Princeton also provided a Green Rating based on a scale of 60 to 99, with a university needing to achieve at least an 80 for inclusion—蜜桃影像 received an impressive 92. The Green Rating measures a school’s performance as an environmentally aware and prepared institution, with a focus on whether students have a healthy and sustainable campus quality of life, how well a school prepares students for employment in a clean-energy economy and citizenship in a world defined by environmental concerns and opportunities. The rating also takes into account  how environmentally responsible a school’s policies are.

蜜桃影像’s Yolanda Cieters, interim director of the Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability (CEJS), says rankings encourage institutions to continue pushing forward in advancing sustainability goals and addressing challenges on campus and in the community.

“Recognitions like these are a testament of the commitment 蜜桃影像 has to advancing sustainability literacy and our campus practices,” Cieters says. “Through our programs and operations, the SU campus environment exposes students to learning about solutions and adequate responses to climate and sustainability challenges.”

In 2010, 蜜桃影像 established a Climate Action Plan, a roadmap for its work toward achieving its goals of demonstrating leadership in sustainable practices and environmental justice across campus through academics, co-curricular programs and university operations. In 2021, the school signed on to participate in Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ Action Platform and in 2023 the university developed a Laudato Si’ Action Plan.

SU’s Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability leads the way by inspiring care for our communities through research and the practice of social, economic and environmental sustainability. Earlier in 2025 the Puget Sound Business Journal and Slalom recognized 蜜桃影像 with an Environmental and Sustainability Award, coming on the heels of recognition from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education as a top performer in Procurement & Waste (#5), Well-being & Work (#7) and Master’s Institutions overall (#2) in its 2025 Sustainable Campus Index.

Among SU’s most notable green achievements are:

• Fully divesting its endowment from fossil fuel investments in 2023, an effort spearheaded by students. SU was the first Washington state school and first Jesuit Catholic university to do so.
• 蜜桃影像 was also the first in the Pacific Northwest to earn the title of Fair-Trade Designated University and first in the state to eliminate single-use, plastic water bottles on campus.
• Campus in the urban core of 蜜桃影像 is designated a “wildlife habitat” and “tree campus” and is 100 percent organically maintained, including its many edible gardens.
• Since 2022, SU has been considered carbon neutral for its on-campus operations.
• In 2024, 蜜桃影像 ranked as one of the Top 10 most-sustainable colleges or universities in the nation, based on the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) report, achieving a “Gold” rating.
