For the first time in Baylor’s history, university sustainability efforts have been recognized by the Sierra Club. Baylor was ranked 133 on the organization’s “Cool Schools 2013” list, which honored 162 four-year colleges and universities that offer exemplary environmental initiatives.
Schools featured on the list, which was released in August, were ranked based on the presence of campus sustainability resources.
Participating universities completed an extensive survey regarding student, staff and faculty access to green initiatives such as environmental organizations, campus-wide energy saving efforts and sustainability-oriented curriculums.
