A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
UAA collaborates with APU in a number of ways. First, as described in PAE-19 we are both members of the U Med Green District and share information and best practices on transportation, recycling and energy and infrastructure through that group. Additionally, UAA and APU collaborate on books of the year each year.
UAA and University of Alaska Fairbanks, a sister institution also collaborate to advance sustainability. We have a friendly competition ongoing, which we are calling the Sustainability Cup. Last year it was based on grade on the Campus Green Report Card, this year it is based on ranking on AASHE STARS. Through calling it a competition, we hope to inspire behavior change on our respective campuses, but the folks on each campus who work on sustainability share information and collaborate. We agree that if we both get A's or platinum ratings, that would be the best of all worlds.
