A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Graduate research called Department Heads informing them of STARS and requesting assistance in gathering data from them as Department Heads and from their respective faculty. The graduate assistant drafted an email requesting information regarding sustainability courses and research to be sent out by each department head. This method was designed to increase the amount of responses to requests for data. We also reached out to the Office of Institutional Research, and cross referenced our data results.
