Sustainability Survey

In Fall 2020, CSUSM conducted its first ever campus wide sustainability survey. The purpose of the survey is to assess our campus’ knowledge and attitudes towards sustainability.  In addition, the survey satisfies our Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) reporting.  We will continue to conduct a longitudinal survey to evaluate our progress every two years.
