Green U Survey

We invite you to watch this video and take the Green U survey to assess your knowledge of sustainability!

In 2019, the University of Miami earned a Gold rating on the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System (STARS) in recognition of its sustainability achievements from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). By taking this survey, you will help us improve our 2022 rating. The ultimate goal of this survey is to learn how UM can do a better job in educating its community about sustainability and environmental issues. The best answers to the open question will receive one of the following prizes: a bike, a hammock, a beach chair, or a cooler—courtesy of Coca-Cola Florida!
