UC Riverside has been ranked among the top green universities in the United States by the Princeton Review.
The school was 27th overall and ninth among public universities for “superb sustainability practices, strong foundations in sustainability education, and healthy quality of life for students on campus,” according to a statement on the university’s website.
“We’re extremely proud of all the work the campus has done recently to achieve this ranking and to further campus sustainability initiatives in our academics, operations and campus life,” said Fortino Morales, UC Riverside’s sustainability officer, in the statement.
“All of these programs help reduce our campus carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier region overall. We look forward to making the campus more sustainable in the coming years.”
The rankings are based on surveys of administrators and students at more than 700 colleges during the 2021-’22 academic year.
