Duquesne Among Princeton Review’s Most Environmentally Responsible Colleges

Duquesne University is being recognized for its sustainability efforts by The Princeton Review, which has included the school in its newly released Guide to 375 Green Colleges.

The 2017 Guide profiles colleges with the most exceptional commitments to sustainability based on their academic offerings and career preparation for students, campus policies, initiatives and activities. Schools were selected based on data from the Princeton Review’s 2016-2017 survey of four-year colleges regarding the school’s engagement with the environment and sustainability.

“Among more than 10,000 teens and parents who participated in our 2017 College Hopes and Worries Survey, 64% told us that having information about a school’s commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the college,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president-publisher at The Princeton Review. “We strongly recommend Duquesne University and the other fine colleges in this guide to the many environmentally minded students who seek to live at green colleges.”

Duquesne, which received an 82 out of 99 total “green rating” from The Princeton Review, has a tradition of commitment to sustainability. The University continually works toward achieving sustainability through its green operations; construction projects; research; academic coursework and community engagement initiatives.
