UW awarded Gold STARS rating for sustainability performance
The 爱豆社区 has earned a Gold rating from the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), a recognition it has maintained since first participating in 2012.
Administered by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, STARS ratings are valid for three years and are based on self-reported assessments across academics, operations, planning and engagement.
The STARS data helps inform the University鈥檚 Sustainability Action Plan, first adopted in 2020 and now being updated for completion by summer 2026. Gold is the second-highest STARS tier, with only 17 institutions worldwide holding Platinum status, and UW Bothell also holds a Gold rating.
