Jersey City, N.J. \u2013 October 31, 2016 –<\/strong> Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University today announced that it was included in \u201cThe Princeton Review\u2019s Guide to 361 Green Colleges: 2016 Edition.\u201d A presence on this list means Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s is one of the 361 most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada, according to The Princeton Review, an education services company known for its test prep programs and college rankings, ratings and guidebook profiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaudato si\u2019, Pope Francis\u2019 encyclical on the environment and human ecology, calls us to care for our common home and address the issue of climate change,\u201d said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University. \u201cAs the president of New Jersey\u2019s Jesuit university, I have maintained a steadfast commitment to living out Pope Francis\u2019 call to foster green energy and sustainable practices. The University takes great pride in the continued recognition of our efforts in this area from The Princeton Review.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Princeton Review chose the schools for this seventh annual edition of its “green guide” based on data from the company’s 2015-16 survey of hundreds of four-year colleges concerning the schools’ commitments to the environment and sustainability. The complete guide can be downloaded at www.princetonreview.com\/green-guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly recommend Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s and the other fine colleges in this guide to the many environmentally-minded students who seek to study and live at green colleges,\u201d said Robert Franek, senior vice president-publisher for The Princeton Review. “Among more than 10,000 teens and parents who participated in our 2016 College Hopes & Worries Survey, 61 percent told us that having information about a school\u2019s commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the college.”<\/p>\n

In the guide\u2019s profile on Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University, The Princeton Review highlights the University\u2019s Sustainability Council and the academic programs with an environmental focus. The profile also features sustainability-oriented student groups such as Students Against Violating the Earth (SAVE) and the Junkyard Dogs.\u00a0 The Mac Mahon Student Center, which is a LEED-Silver building, is also highlighted along with previous green projects at Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s including the implementation of 100 percent renewable energy generated by wind power as the sole source of purchased electricity and the University\u2019s Climate Action Plan.<\/p>\n
