University of Utah Sustainability Dashboard

The Sustainability Dashboard is an interactive tool to measure sustainability performance. By better understanding the U's progress over time, members of the U community can identify concerns that propel the institution forward. The Sustainability Office reports these metrics to the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS). In 2023, the University of Utah received its second STARS Gold rating.

Academics: Curriculum

Sustainability curricular efforts are managed by the Sustainability Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), which is chaired by the faculty Sustainability Education Director. SEAC designed theSustainability Course Attribute (SUST), which is applied to courses that integrate fundamental concepts of sustainability including social, environmental, and economic considerations. Additional efforts to incorporate sustainability learning outcomes across campus will ensure students are equipped with knowledge and skills to address local and global challenges.
