A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage student research in sustainability:
The Office of Sustainability (OS) provides opportunities for students to participate in campus sustainability activities through a for-credit internship (ENVS 482) offered in the fall and spring semesters. Students may choose an appropriate project from the following subject areas or support a particular project currently being worked on by the Office of Sustainability. Subject areas can include: Built Environment, Campus Landscape, Education, Energy, Food Services, Procurement, Transportation, Waste, and Water. Interns will work directly with the office Director or Sustainability Coordinator to craft a project through the semester that will directly support Office of Sustainability activities. The internship provides applied experience working on research and planning efforts. Most projects involve close mentoring by the OS and non-original applied research, but developed to be customized for application to HSU.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
As with many of the academic program areas related to sustainability there is not currently a formalized process or program in place meeting current STARS requirements for faculty research. The university is placing a high priority on formalizing academic efforts around sustainability to illuminate its longstanding commitments in this area.
