Sustainability
  • Recycled Paper
    The University's Recycled Paper Policy was instituted on July 1, 2008. The policy requires all copy paper used on campus to have at least 30 percent recycled content.

    It is estimated this initiative will save more than 8,000 trees and almost 3 million gallons of wastewater, while diverting 382,000 pounds of solid waste from landfills.
  • Energy Star
    All standard configured computers purchased from the University's Prime Computer Supplier agreement meet current Energy Star 5.0 rating.
