Come learn more about the STARS sustainability audit and NMU’s latest "silver" rating. 

The Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) focuses on institution achievements through: academics, engagement, operations, planning and administration, and innovation and leadership.

Since the last audit, NMU included sustainability in the University's strategic plan, added three new academic programs, launched the green fund, installed solar panels, and reduced our carbon footprint and overall resource use. Bring your ideas to help get NMU closer to a gold rating.
