WILLIMANTIC — Eastern
Connecticut State University is
one of the most environmentally
responsible colleges, according to
The Princeton Review.
The Review featured Eastern in
its 2016 “Guide to 361 Green
Colleges,” published earlier this
month and available at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide.
This is the seventh year in a row
Eastern has made the list of the
nation’s top green colleges, which
is based on data from the Princeton
Review’s 2015-16 survey of hundreds of four-year colleges concerning their commitment to the
environment and sustainability.
“We are proud to, again, be recognized as an environmentallyfriendly school by this important
publication,” said Lynn Stoddard,
director of Eastern’s Institute for
Sustainable Energy (ISE). “We’re
happy that today’s college students
value sustainability and that our
institutional efforts to minimize
environmental impact have not
gone unnoticed.”
In addition to a strong environmental earth science program and
university initiatives that emphasize sustainability, Eastern’s campus boasts four LEED-certified
buildings featuring daylight harvesting and gray-water systems,
recycled flooring, native plants
and biofilter systems to reduce
rainwater runoff.
Furthermore, the ISE addresses
energy issues in the region by supporting the development of sound
public energy policy, providing
K-12 energy education and professional development and solutions
to community resource issues.
“We strongly recommend Eastern
and the other fine colleges in this
guide to the many environmentallyminded students who seek to study
and live at green colleges,” said
The Princeton Review’s Robert
Franek, senior vice president and
publisher. Franek noted the growing interest the company has seen
among college-bound students in
green colleges.
Profiles of Green Colleges found
in The Princeton Review’s Guide
include “Green Facts” about the
schools with details on the availability of transportation alternatives at the schools and the percentage of the school food budgets
spent on local/organic food.
The Princeton Review chose the
colleges based on “Green Rating”
scores (from 60 to 99) that the
company tallied in summer 2016
for 640 colleges using data from its
2015-16 survey of school administrators. Schools with Green Rating
scores of 80 or higher made it into
the guide.
