Thursday, October 6, 2016

SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga University once again has been named among the nation’s most environmentally responsible colleges by The Princeton Review. The 2016 edition of its “Guide to 361 Green Colleges” is free and downloadable at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide.

The publication chose the schools based on “Green Rating” scores (from 60 to 99) tallied for 640 colleges using data from its 2015-16 survey of school administrators about schools’ sustainability-related policies, practices and programs. Schools with green rating scores of 80 (of a possible 99) or higher made it into this guide. Gonzaga earned a green rating score of 94. Most of the schools (350) in this edition are in the United States, 10 are in Canada and one is in Egypt.
