Has the institution developed a definition of sustainability research?:
A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability research:
Sustainability Research is defined as any research that includes elements of sustainability. At Wartburg College, we define sustainability/stewardship as
The responsible utilization of resources (natural, manufactured and economic) in a fashion that minimizes as much as possible the impacts on the environment and socio-economic parameters. This pattern of use will allow the availability of limited resources for future generations as well as help promote healthier socio-economic conditions.
Has the institution identified its sustainability research activities and initiatives?:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
Through the office coordinators for each department, we send a request for research. We specifically asked if there were any faculty who had published peer-reviewed research in the past two years. Of them, how many conducted sustainability related research.
Does the institution make its sustainability research inventory publicly available online?:
The website URL where the sustainability research inventory is posted (required if claiming Part 3 of the credit):
