妻友社区

For the ninth consecutive year, The Princeton Review ranked 妻友社区 as one of the 413 most environmentally responsible colleges in the country. The education services company known for its test prep, tutoring services, books and college rankings features Georgia Southern in its free book, The Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges: 2019 Edition.

The Princeton Review chose schools based on a survey conducted in 2018-19, which asked administrators at hundreds of four-year colleges about their institutions鈥� commitments to the environment and sustainability.

鈥淲e are proud to earn continued recognition as a leader in sustainability at the national level,鈥� said Lissa Leege, Ph.D., Center for Sustainability director. 鈥淲e have increased our commitment to sustainability this year as an institution, with the incorporation of sustainability as a value that accompanies the university鈥檚 mission, and as a pillar in our strategic plan. We look forward to the integration of these values on all three campuses and to new strides towards these goals in the years to come.鈥�

The profiles in The Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges provide information about each school鈥檚 admission requirements, cost, financial aid and student body statistics. They also include green facts about the schools with details on the availability of transportation alternatives and the percentage of funding spent on local, organic food.

鈥淲e salute鈥攁nd strongly recommend Georgia Southern to many environmentally minded students who want to study and live at a green college,鈥� wrote The Princeton Review Editor-in-Chief Rob Franek.

鈥淕eorgia Southern emphasizes renewable energy and environmental science research through initiatives such as research on converting Georgia-grown agricultural products into marketable fuel,” he continued. “In addition, the university鈥檚 Center for Sustainability hosts student-led sustainability action projects such as participating in 鈥楴o Impact Week,鈥� every day of which was dedicated to a different way students could take on eco-responsible habits, such as reducing consumption, trash and alternative transportation.鈥�

Franek noted that college applicants and their parents are increasingly concerned about the environment and sustainability issues. Among the 11,900 teens and parents The Princeton Review surveyed earlier this year for its 2019 鈥淐ollege Hopes & Worries Survey,鈥� 64% said that having information about the college’s commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the school.
