A brief summary of results from the assessment(s):
Based off our short assessment, students were more prone to understand sustainability on a global scale (over local), have knowledge of a topic (but not able to associate the appropriate behavior to that topic), and showed an equal level of understandings of various topics (waste, water, energy, climate, socio-economics).

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This credit's report comes from the 2015-16 academic year (AY). 316 Freshman students took the survey out of a total of 2,751 enrolled students (11.5%). We chose not to do a representative sample, being that this is the first year we gave the survey.
