UB moved up five spots on Sierra Club magazine’s “Cool Schools” ranking for 2017. The university landed at No. 52, up from 57 last fall, on the environmental group’s annual list of schools that are ahead of the curve when it comes to sustainability.
UB因其在高等教育可持续发展方面的努力而在2016年公众参与部分(AASHE)的可持续校园指数(Sustainable Campus Index)中被突出。UB之所以被特别提到,是因为它与伊利县和地区商业领袖建立了伙伴关系,成立了西纽约可持续商业圆桌会议(Western New York Sustainable business Roundtable),这是一个由近50家企业组成的组织,致力于推动该地区企业的绿色实践。
