Princeton Review Lauds Green BU

boston_4GreenBU

For the second year in a row, Boston University is listed in the Princeton Review’s Guide to 311 Green Colleges—a feather in the cap of the University’s relatively young sustainability office, sustainability@bu.

Texas A&M University

University of North Texas

  • UNT is at the forefront of sustainability

    From new state-of-the-art facilities to partnerships in China for researching and promoting green building technologies, UNT has distinguished itself as a global leader in net-zero energy and sustainability.

Chapman University

Victoria University of Wellington

  • Saving critically endangered species

    Wellington is a long way from Africa, but research being conducted at Victoria University is helping restore populations of animals, such as rhinoceros, that live on the African savannahs.

University of Central Florida

  • Simulations Bring Prehistoric Fish, Climate Change to Life

    “This is why I came to UCF,” Smith said of creating interactive elements for museums. “We can do so much to help families learn about science and math in fun ways at a museum, and technology can be a great tool to connect learners with each other and the topic. They don’t even realize at first that they are learning.”

University of Kansas

  • KU takes the "LEED" in sustainability

    Going green has been a campuswide effort, from collecting rainwater to nourish a garden to incorporating sustainability into the curriculum and saving millions of dollars through energy efficiencies

Case Western Reserve University

Technische Universitat Darmstadt

The University of Hong Kong

  • Madagascar’s Menagerie Floated From Africa

    Madagascar is home to a ‘bizarre’ repository of creatures, many found nowhere else on Earth. But how they arrived on the island has baffled scientists for centuries. Now, new research seems to confirm the theory that they rafted there.

Rollins College

  • An Organic Learning Environment

    "We asked ourselves what would happen if students took four linked courses around one topic, and then did field work mid-semester?" explained Barry Allen, associate professor of environmental studies. Immersion courses are common for language programs but are rare in other disciplines.

University of Arkansas at Little Rock

  • Childhood Fascination Leads UALR Scientist to Field Research

    Steve Yanoviak loved to climb trees and collect insects, growing up in the Pennsylvania suburbs. He’s still doing it, but now the trees are majestic giants forming the canopy of tropical rainforests in Costa Rica, Panama, and Peru. And the insects he collects may hold the key to winged flight.

University of Massachusetts Amherst

  • When Maroon is Green

    UMass Amherst boasts two new homes for sciences and arts—near neighbors on campus—designed to promote collaborative learning and sustainable living. By all accounts they’re succeeding.

University of Florida

  • Researchers Create Artificial Reefs for Grouper

    Anybody who’s ever wrestled with a grouper on the end of their line knows these monsters don’t take well to having a hook in their mouth. But the reward for a half hour of fighting that will leave your arms sore for a week can be a fish that offers some of the best eating in the ocean. Unfortunately, the growing demand for grouper sandwiches and improved technology like GPS that can put a charter captain right on top of his favorite grouper spots every time have led to concerns this species is being overfished.

University of South Florida

  • Making Leaps in Biological Research

    A USF biologist and his colleagues are investigating chemical pollution, climate change and disease as possible causes for the global decline of amphibians.
