UMaine Highlighted for Environmental Practices
Comments from Elaine Clark, UMaine’s executive director of facilities, real estate and planning, are included in a Thursday Bangor Daily News story about the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card, released by a Massachusetts organization. UMaine’s grade has risen from C to B in one year, a development that Clark attributes, in part, to a series of initiatives that reflect UMaine’s commitment to sustainability. The Princeton Review also named UMaine to its Green Honor Roll earlier this year, identifying it as one of just 19 institutions from all around the U.S. to receive that publication’s top score for environmental stewardship.
