Strengthening Sustainability Data Infrastructure

Strengthening Sustainability Data Infrastructure will enhance the Office of Sustainability’s capacity to collect, analyze, manage, and share sustainability data to address critical data gaps that prevent clear, data-driven decision making and accountability. The project will create a centralized set of processes to improve sustainability data collection and management to create detailed annual reports that support informed decision-making and advance institutional sustainability. 

The Campus Sustainability Fund will help fund two student Data Specialists and a full-time staff Data Analyst to streamline data collection and reporting processes. The project will partner with University Analytics & Institutional Research and Enterprise GIS to ensure data is collected in the most efficient, accurate, and accessible manner. The dashboards created as a result of this project will also be made accessible and available for use in university classes, fostering a more inclusive, transparent, and engaged campus community.
