Cross-Campus Involvement: Achieve STARS Gold by 2025

Shared knowledge and training, behavior change, and engagement from all corners of campus are essential in creating a culture of campus sustainability.

How we’re getting there

UW–Madison uses the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) to assess progress and use established metrics to ensure that sustainability efforts are reaching all corners of campus. STARS is a comprehensive sustainability rating system for colleges and universities that addresses the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability.
