A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
The Office of Sustainability staff team completed the College's STARS report without direct input or data entry from Mark Lichtenstein. Upon completion, the report is provided to Mark for review and potential edits.
Cornell University provided review on a rolling basis, via the use of a shared spreadsheet. As each ESF team member completed a credit, it would be marked as such in the shared document.
