University of Windsor again ranked among sustainable schools

The University of Windsor has once again been listed in the Guide to Green Schools by the Princeton Review, ranking it among North America’s most environmentally responsible post-secondary institutions.

The 2021 guide presents information on each school's use of renewable energy, its recycling and conservation programs, the availability of environmental studies in academic offerings, and career guidance for green jobs.

“We are especially pleased to recommend these colleges during Campus Sustainability Month, the international celebration of sustainability in higher education,” said Rob Franek, the publication’s editor-in-chief. “With robust offerings in environmental studies and initiatives that range from solar-powered residence halls to tray-less dining halls, these schools demonstrate their commitment to sustainability in a range of innovative ways.”

The University of Windsor is one of 22 Canadian institutions selected this year. It earned points for:

  • supporting local food producers, mass transit, and bicycling;
  • offering academic programs in environmental studies;
  • investing in renewable energy for use on campus; and
  • employing an environmental sustainability advocate.
